It recommends examining the patient's fundus in a dark room with a dilated pupil, and describes the high magnification which allows viewing only a small retinal area at a time. Key structures to examine include the optic disc, vascular arcades, and macula. Practice is emphasized for proficiency.

    Can be used for anterior segment and fundus

    Remember magnification is high, therefore only small area seen at one time

    Right eye for right eye and vice versa

    Ask patient to look in the direction of what you are trying to see, and approach from the opposite direction

    Look at OPTIC DISC (colour, contour, cup), VASCULAR ARCADES and MACULA
