Your eyes are the window to your overall health. A simple yet powerful test called fundoscopy (also known as an ophthalmoscopy or retinal examination) allows doctors to look inside the eye to check the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels. This test not only detects eye conditions but also reveals signs of systemic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
At Curis Life Multispecialty Clinic in Andheri West, our expert ophthalmologists perform detailed fundoscopy using advanced diagnostic equipment to ensure early detection and treatment of eye disorders.
What is Fundoscopy?
Fundoscopy is a painless eye examination where the doctor uses a special instrument called an ophthalmoscope or a fundus camera to examine the inside of your eye.
This test helps visualize:
Retina (light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye)
Optic nerve (responsible for carrying signals to the brain)
Blood vessels of the eye
Macula (central vision area)
It is often called a retina checkup or fundus examination.
Why is Fundoscopy Important?
Fundoscopy is one of the most important tools for early detection of eye and general health conditions, including:
Diabetic retinopathy
Hypertensive retinopathy (blood vessel damage due to high BP)
Glaucoma (optic nerve damage due to high pressure)
Retinal detachment or tears
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
Papilledema (swelling of optic nerve)
Eye tumors or infections
Symptoms That May Require Fundoscopy
You may be advised to undergo a fundus examination if you experience:
Blurred or distorted vision
Flashes of light or floaters
Sudden vision loss
Headaches with vision changes
Eye pain with pressure or redness
Diabetes or hypertension (for regular screening)
Causes and Risk Factors
Fundoscopy is recommended for patients who have:
Diabetes (risk of diabetic eye disease)
High blood pressure
Glaucoma or family history of glaucoma
Severe headaches with eye strain
Retinal disorders or past eye injuries
Age above 40 years with visual changes
Types of Fundoscopy
Direct ophthalmoscopy – A hand-held device gives a detailed view of the central retina.
Indirect ophthalmoscopy – Provides a wide-angle view of the retina using special lenses.
Fundus photography – Captures images of the retina for detailed documentation.
Dilated fundoscopy – Special eye drops dilate the pupil for a clearer and more detailed view.
