		Ophthalmoscopy is an examination of the back part of the eyeball (fundus), which includes the retina, optic disc, choroid, and blood vessels.
		The rotating lenses incorporated in the instrument are used to correct?the focusing error of the examiner or the patient being examined.
		Indirect ophthalmoscopy and slit-lamp ophthalmoscopy are performed after eye drops are placed to dilate the pupils.

	Ophthalmoscopy - fundoscopy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Ophthalmoscopy, also known as fundoscopy, is an examination of the back part of the eyeball (fundus), which includes the retina, optic disc, choroid, and blood vessels.
		The rotating lenses incorporated in the instrument are used to compensate for the refractive error of the examiner or the patient being examined.
		Ophthalmoscopy is performed as part of a routine physical or complete eye examination to detect and evaluate symptoms of retinal detachment, eye disease such as glaucoma, or if diabetes, hypertension, or other vascular disease is suspected.

	Extended Ophthalmoscopy
		The three methods of viewing the ocular fundus include direct ophthalmoscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy by which a larger field is obtained with magnification, and biomicroscopy where a slit lamp is combined with a contact lens (e.g., 3-mirror lens) or similar magnification lens (e.g., 90 diopter).
		Ophthalmoscopy extended (92225) and subsequent (92226) are considered to be reasonable and necessary services for evaluation of tumors of the retina and choroid (the tumor may be too peripheral for an accurate photograph), retinal tears, detachments, hemorrhages, exudative detachments and retinal defects without detachment as well as other documentation requirements set forth in this policy.
		A serious retinal condition is present based on routine ophthalmoscopy, which requires further study, such as the detailed study of pre-retinal membrane, 360 degrees scleral depression, a retinal tear, detachment, a suspected retinal tear with sudden onset of symptomatic floaters or vitreous hemorrhage and/or suspected wet, age related macular degeneration or central serous retinopathy.

	Ophthalmoscopy - [Medical Test] - Quest Diagnostics Patient Health Library (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Ophthalmoscopy is a test that allows a health professional to see inside the back of the eye (called the fundus) and other structures using a magnifying instrument (ophthalmoscope) and a light source.
		This type of ophthalmoscopy is most commonly done during a routine physical examination.
		Indirect ophthalmoscopy provides a wider view of the inside of the eye and allows a better view of the fundus even if the lens is clouded by cataracts.

		Direct Ophthalmoscopy: You will be seated in a darkened room, and the examiner performs this common examination by projecting a beam of light from an ophthalmoscope, an instrument about the size of a flashlight, through the pupil to view the back of the eyeball.
		Indirect ophthalmoscopy is performed after eye drops are placed to dilate the pupils.
		Ophthalmoscopy is performed as part of a routine physical or complete eye examination to detect and evaluate symptoms of eye disease, such as glaucoma, or if diabetes, atherosclerosis, or hypertension is suspected.

	Direct Ophthalmoscopy, Practical (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		During ophthalmoscopy it is advisable to keep both eyes open and suppress the image from the other eye.
		The magnification and patient co-operation obtainedwith head mounted binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy using a 20D lens, and slit lamp biomicroscopy using a 90D or other similar lens means that fundus examination is usually difficult or impossible on younger children.
		A disadvantage of the technique, as with conventional direct ophthalmoscopy is the lack of a true stereoscopic view, however, lateral movement and rotation of the direct ophthalmoscope during the examination gives good parallax clues to depth.

	Optometric Management
		Answer: Extended ophthalmoscopy is a detailed exam and drawing of the fundus that goes beyond the standard funduscopy of an office visit.
		Extended ophthalmoscopy is indicated for a wide range of posterior segment pathology when the level of examination is greater than that required for a routine ophthalmoscopy.
		But regardless of the region you practice in, extended ophthalmoscopy is flagged as an overutilized service, and it's subject to frequent Medicare audits.

		Direct ophthalmoscopy is done more frequently than indirect ophthalmoscopy.
		Indirect ophthalmoscopy is a more difficult procedure and requires greater skill and more specialized equipment than direct ophthalmology, so it is generally done by ophthalmologists and optometrists.

		DIRECT OPHTHALMOSCOPY - (termed because the fundus is viewed directly) Used to examine both the anterior and posterior segments of the eye, but primarily the fundus.
		Advantages - Direct ophthalmoscopy can be used for close evaluation of fundic lesions, both because of the high magnification afforded and because the device can be used to estimate the degree of depth or elevation of a lesion.

	Ophthalmoscope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This refinement and updating of von Helmoltz's invention enabled ophthalmoscopy to become one of the most ubiqutous medical screening techniques in the world today.
		In patients with headaches, the finding of swollen optic discs, or papilledema, on ophthalmoscopy is a key sign, as this indicates raised intracranial pressure (ICP) which could be due to hydrocephalus, benign intracranial hypertension (aka pseudotumor cerebri) or brain tumor, amongst other conditions.
		In patients with diabetes mellitus, regular ophthalmoscopic eye examinations (once every 6 months to 1 year) is mandatory to screen for diabetic retinopathy as visual loss due to diabetes can be prevented by retinal laser treatment if retinopathy is spotted early.

		The goal of the program is to use the optomap ® Retinal Exam in conjunction with other traditional methods of ophthalmoscopy, such as a traditional slit lamp examination, Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscopy, and direct ophthalmoscopy to provide a very thorough and effective retinal exam.
		As part of this program, Optos has developed an instructional video that illustrates the clinically proven targeted ophthalmoscopy technique, and how by combining the optomap with other forms of ophthalmoscopy results in an effective patient educational examination.
		With the introduction of the new Digital Series lenses, Volk is providing a new level of image quality for the traditional slit lamp examination previously unattainable in any non contact lens.
