In this video module we look at how to examine the peripheral retina and what you might see when you do. This module contains a lecture on common peripheral retinal conditions, a demonstration of Volk lenses and Headset BIO and a peer discussion on examining the fundus. It will make you want to consign your direct ophthalmoscope to the bin for good!

This course is in 4 parts:

Part 1: Peter Charlesworth presents the lecture 'Viewing the Peripheral Fundus' (28 mins)
