Fundus Photography

Optos Ultra-Widefield Fundus Photography

The term fundus describes the back of the eye including the retina and the optic nerve. The ultra-widefield imaging system allows capture of 200 degrees of retina (82% of the retinal surface) in a single image. Traditional fundus cameras capture only 30-50 degrees of retina and the peripheral retina remains undocumented. Documentation is not only important for management, monitoring and follow-up of retinal diseases, but also serves an irreplaceable role in patient education and counselling. This non-invasive procedure usually takes only a few minutes.
