Retina Check-Up: The retina is a crucial part of the eye responsible for capturing visual information and sending it to the brain for processing. Regular retina check-ups are vital to detect any potential issues early on, as many serious eye conditions and diseases can develop without noticeable symptoms in their early stages.

At Dr. Murkute’s O2 Bone & Eye Care, the retina check-up is conducted by experienced and skilled ophthalmologists using advanced diagnostic equipment. The process begins with a thorough examination of the patient’s medical history and any relevant symptoms they might be experiencing. Next, the patient’s eyes are dilated to allow a clear view of the retina.

The clinic uses state-of-the-art imaging technologies, such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and fundus photography, to capture high-resolution images of the retina. These images enable the ophthalmologists to assess the health of the retina, identify any abnormalities, and diagnose conditions like diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal detachments.

Fundoscopy: Fundoscopy, also known as ophthalmoscopy, is a specialized procedure performed during the retina check-up. It involves using an ophthalmoscope, a handheld instrument equipped with lenses and a light source, to examine the structures at the back of the eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels.

During the fundoscopy, the patient’s pupils are dilated to ensure a comprehensive view of the interior of the eye. The ophthalmologist carefully examines the optic nerve head for any signs of damage or abnormalities, such as swelling, which may indicate conditions like glaucoma, Papilloedema, Optic Neuritis, AION, Papillion etc.

Additionally, the fundus examination allows the ophthalmologist to observe the retinal blood vessels. Changes in the appearance of these blood vessels can indicate conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, hyperlipidemia, systemic desease where retinal blood vessels affected.

The O2 Bone & Eye Care clinic ensures that the fundoscopy is conducted with utmost precision and care, enabling early detection and prompt treatment of any potential eye conditions.
