AB Examination  of  the  living  human  retina  provides  a  unique  opportunity  for  the  direct  study  of  nervous,  vascular,  and  connective  tissues.  Many  systemic  disorders  have  retinal  manifestations  that  are  valuable  for  screening,  diagnosis,  and  management  of  these  conditions.  Furthermore,  retinal  involvement  in  systemic  disorders,  such  as  diabetes  mellitus,  is  a  major  cause  of  morbidity.  Early  recognition  by  ophthalmoscopic  screening  is  a  key  factor  in  effective  treatment.  Ophthalmoscopy  has  the  potential  to  be  one  of  the  most  “high-yield”  elements  of  the  physical  examination.  Effective  ophthalmoscopy  requires  a  basic  understanding  of  ocular  structures  and  ophthalmoscopic  techniques  and  recognition  of  abnormal  findings.
