The pupil is a hole through which the eye's interior can be viewed. For better viewing, the pupil can be opened wider (dilated; mydriasis) before ophthalmoscopy using medicated eye drops (dilated fundus examination). However, undilated examination is more convenient (albeit not as comprehensive), and is the most common type in primary care.
Dilated fundus examination (DFE) is a diagnostic procedure that uses mydriatic eye drops to dilate or enlarge the pupil in order to obtain a better view of the fundus of the eye. [1] Once the pupil is dilated, examiners use ophthalmoscopy to view the eye's interior, which makes it easier to assess the retina , optic nerve head , blood vessels ...

Normal fundus photographs of the left eye (left image) and right eye (right image), seen from front so that left in each image is to the person's right.

Cotton wool spots are opaque fluffy white patches on the retina of the eye that are considered an abnormal finding during a funduscopic exam (also called an ophthalmoscopic exam). [1] Cotton wool spots are typically a sign of another disease state, most common of which is diabetic retinopathy . [ 2 ]
On fundoscopic examination, there are three principal findings comprising the anomaly: [5] an enlarged, funnel-shaped excavation in optic disc; an annulus or ring of chorioretinal pigmentary changes surrounding the optic disc excavation; a central glial tuft overlying the optic disc
