Tool: Ophthalmoscope

“Front”

Facing the Patient

“Back”

Facing the Doctor

Slide3

Anatomy of the Eye

Slide4

Step 1: Have the patient sit down

Have the patient sit down facing the doctor – Dr. should be slightly to the side of the patients’ eye being examined (look at figure above)Turn on the ophthalmoscope by pressing the green button and rotating the upper part of the handle

Slide5

Step 2: Examine the eye from afar

Put the ophthalmoscope up to your eye so the light points toward your patient's face. View your patient's eye through the opposite side of the ophthalmoscope. You should be able to see a "red reflex" of the patient's fundus, not unlike red eye in a flash photo

Slide6

Step 3: Examine the eye closer

Move toward the patient's eye until you are close to his/her face. Close the eye you are not using to look through the ophthalmoscope. Look for details of the person's fundus – You may need to turn the number dial at the top of the ophthalmoscope in order for it to be in focus

Slide7

Step 4: Note details of Fundus

Try to view specific landmarks on your patient's fundus, such as the optic nerve (a large yellow disk), arterial and venous arcades emanating from the disk, and the macula

Slide8

Pathology

Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Damage to retina of the eye due to long-term diabetes

Hemorrhage

Bleeding in the eye

Fundus

Flavimaculatus

or

Stargardt

Disease

Yellowish flecks around macula

Autosomal

recessive condition which causes macular degeneration
