Ophthalmoscopy

According to statistics, every fourth person has impaired vision, and this figure continues to grow due to increased strain on the eyes - working at a computer, using gadgets and other factors.

Regular diagnostics allow you to detect ophthalmological diseases in the early stages, preventing their progression. Ophthalmoscopy is a key method of assessing the condition of the fundus, which helps to timely diagnose pathologies of the retina, blood vessels and optic nerve.

At the Oxford Medical clinic, the examination is performed using modern equipment by experienced ophthalmologists. Sign up for diagnostics now and take care of the health of your eyes!

Ophthalmoscopy is a diagnostic procedure during which an ophthalmologist examines the fundus, i.e. the inner surface of the eye, which includes the retina, optic nerve and blood vessels. This is an important diagnostic method that helps to assess the condition of the visual apparatus and detect various ophthalmological diseases.

The procedure is performed using a special device - an ophthalmoscope, which allows the doctor to carefully examine the internal structure of the eye from different angles.

During the ophthalmoscopy procedure, the doctor examines the fundus: how the condition of the retina, optic nerve and blood vessels is checked depends on the type of examination - direct or indirect.

The difference between direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy lies in the technique:

Direct ophthalmoscopy provides a detailed magnified image of the central part of the fundus, which allows for a thorough assessment of minor changes in the retina and optic nerve.

Indirect ophthalmoscopy provides a wider view of the fundus, including its peripheral areas, which is especially important for detecting retinal detachment or other peripheral pathologies.

Ophthalmoscopy is an absolutely safe and painless diagnostic method that is crucial for the early detection of serious pathologies.

Regular ophthalmoscopy should be performed:

• Patients with diabetes mellitus - to detect diabetic retinopathy.
• Individuals with arterial hypertension - to prevent vascular damage to the retina.
• Pregnant women - especially those with vision problems or at risk of preeclampsia.
• Older people - due to the risk of age-related macular degeneration.
• Patients with a family history of eye diseases - to prevent glaucoma and other pathologies.

Regular examination of the fundus allows you to detect problems at an early stage and prevent complications.

Ophthalmoscopy allows you to detect the following diseases:

• Glaucoma - increased intraocular pressure and damage to the optic nerve.
• Diabetic retinopathy - damage to retinal vessels in diabetes.
• Macular degeneration - degenerative changes in the central part of the retina.
• Retinitis - inflammatory processes in the retina.
• Dystrophic processes - tears or detachment of the retina.

Timely diagnosis of these diseases allows you to avoid significant complications and preserve vision.
