Ocular Fundus The ocular fundus, also known as the fundus of the eye, refers to the interior surface of the eye opposite the lens, which includes the retina, optic disc, macula, and blood vessels. The ocular fundus is viewed during an eye examination using specialized instruments such as an ophthalmoscope or fundus camera.
It provides valuable diagnostic information about the health of the eye and the presence of various eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. Examination of the ocular fundus is an essential part of routine eye care and is performed by ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other eye care professionals to detect and manage eye diseases and disorders. |
