Abstract Fundus


I decided to have a little bit of fun with some of the fundus photographs that I have been taken at Wake Forest University Eye Center. This is a result of two fundus images montaged together and played with in photoshop, ENJOY!

Optic Neuritis

Yesterday I was able to take more fundus photographs! I am progressing more and more everyday, so hopefully I will find the time to post some more fundus photos for you to see. This patient had optic neuritis which is swelling of the optic nerve. This can cause a sudden decrease in vision.

This photograph is one of a set of two. I was able to take it in stero which means that it has a 3D appearance when paired with the other image if you have a stero viewer. Since most of you don't have this at home I just posted the one image. Hope you are enjoying my fundus photographs. I only have a couple more weeks left of my internship at Wake Forest Eye Center.

More FUNDUS!!!

Here is another fundus picture I was able to take yesterday. This patient was a suspect for gluacoma. If you saw my previous post of fundus photography you will notice how much the optic nerve was swollen in the last patient.

Fundus Photography

Today I got to practice more fundus photography! It has been challenging for me to get images of the retina (back of the eye) in focus, but I'm getting better. Practice makes perfect :) This patient had Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension which was causing his optic nerve to swell. More to come soon!

Optical Coherence Tomography Scan

For my internship at Wake Forest University Eye Center I have been doing Optical Coherence Tomography Scans (OCT). An OCT scans the back of the eye (retina) and measures the thickness of it. It also shows any type of swelling, fluid, or other abnormalities. The top scan is what a more normal eye looks like and the bottom scan shows a patient that has sub-retinal fluid. More to come soon!
