Ophthalmoscopy Pathologies

The eye serves as a window through which many valuable clinical observations may be be made. Direct observation of the structures of the fundus through an ophthalmoscope, may show disease of the eye itself, or may reveal abnormalities indicative of disease elsewhere. Here, you can observe some common pathologies and compare them to what you would find in a normal fundus.
