eye examination - Welch

Posted: Dec 16, 2009

Hi Guys, I'm having trouble figuring this dictation out. I am new to Ophthamology and I have a new doctor from Asia.

Confrontation of visual fields are full to finger counting in both eyes. (Vergens) are full. Pen light examination is normal. The fundus examination of both eyes shows scattered, dark, and blood hemorrhages. There is no exudate in the posterior (pole) and both maculae appear to be normal.

The words in parenthesis are the ones i'm not sure of. Thanks!

all of it needs checked. - cb

I believe the beginning is "Confrontational visual fields". Then, the (vergens), is probably vergence or vergences. Posterior "pole" looks correct, but The fundus examination is more likely "scattered dot-blot (or dot and blot) hemorrhages". -hope this helps.

I think you are right on with this, except . . . - SoCal MT

I think is is most likely "versions" are full. I do a lot of ophthalmology and see this frequently.

Maybe - Horski

EOMs are full.

Pole would be right.

I would think rather than dark and blood hemorrhages it would be "darkened".

I think vergens = convergence (is) full...sm - elaine

about the hemorrhages, could it be something like:

scattered multiple hemorrhages OR
scattered retinal hemorrhages?

thank you - welch

Thank you all for the help, I'm going to flag the file and turn it in. I would rather not make a mistake and assume. Thanks again.
