In medicine, the term fundus is used to describe the inner lining of a hollow organ. The ocular fundus is the inner lining of the eye made up of the retinal layers and underlying choroid. The retina is the “film” of the eye – capturing images which pass through the clear structures of the cornea and lens. It is the only place in the body where nerve fibres and blood vessels can easily be seen making retinal images invaluable in monitoring the progression of systemic conditions such as diabetes as well as to catalogue ocular health
Retinal photography is recommended for ALL patients, especially those who have Diabetes, Macula Degeneration, High Blood Pressure.
