Dr. Errol Ozdalga demonstrates how to perform a fundoscopic exam to evaluate the retina and overall vasculature.

We believe all clinicians should know how to examine the retina. This video by Dr. Errol Ozdalga will show you how! The retina is the only portion of the central nervous system visible from the exterior. Likewise the fundus is the only location where vasculature can be visualized. So much of what we see in internal medicine is vascular related and so viewing the fundus is a great way to get a sense for the patient’s overall vasculature. But the fundoscopic exam can discover pathological process otherwise invisible, examples are plentiful, and include recognizing endocarditis, disseminated candidemia, CMV in an HIV infected patient, and being able to stage both diabetes and hypertension.
