Ophthalmoscopic Examination

 

  • The examination is carried out to exclude any abnormality in the fundii and media. 

  • Examination must be carried out in a systematic manner starting from the cornea, anterior chamber, pupil, iris, lens, posterior chamber and retina.

  • Note will be taken of reaction of the pupil to the light, abnormality of the pupillary edge, any evidence of inflammation of the iris and lenticular opacity. 

  • Vitreous floaters are usually of no significance. 

  • Any abnormal vascular pattern, macular scaring, hemorrhages or exudates in the fundii will be noted. 

  • The normality of the disc and the vascular pattern in the disc and its edges, AV ratio, papillary oedema or colour change in and around the disc and pigmentary changes elsewhere provide valuable clues to various systemic diseases and must be carefully noted.
