Dilated fundus examination is a medical procedure that involves dilating the pupils of the eye to examine the back of the eye, including the optic nerve, retina, and blood vessels. However, there are several synonyms used to describe this procedure, such as dilated eye exam, ophthalmoscopy, funduscopy and indirect ophthalmoscopy. These terms describe the same process of examining the back of the eye using specialized equipment. The exam is important for detecting and monitoring various eye conditions, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. The dilated fundus examination is a simple and effective procedure that is essential for maintaining healthy eyesight and detecting eye conditions at an early stage.
