Fundus Exam

A fundus exam is a procedure where an eye doctor examines the back part of your eye, called the fundus, which includes the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels. This is done using specialized instruments like a ophthalmoscope or through dilation with eye drops to widen the pupils. The purpose is to check for eye health issues such as diabetes-related damage, high blood pressure effects, or retinal problems. It provides vital information about your eye's condition and overall health, helping in early detection and treatment of vision or health conditions affecting the eyes.
