Detection of ocular fundus abnormalities, including even those limited to the optic nerve head, remains very challenging for non-eye care providers, the vast majority of whom are not comfortable with direct ophthalmoscopy, especially through a non-dilated pupil.1-6 Pathology of the optic nerve, in particular papilledema (optic disc edema specifically secondary to intracranial hypertension), often reflects an underlying sight- or life-threatening disorder which will likely be missed without ocular fundus examination.
