Bleeding

Bleeding, also known as hemorrhaging or haemorrhaging, is blood escaping from the circulatory system.

Blood vessel

The blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system, and microcirculation, that transports blood throughout the human body.

Bruch's membrane

Bruch's membrane is the innermost layer of the choroid.

Choroid

The choroid, also known as the choroidea or choroid coat, is the vascular layer of the eye, containing connective tissues, and lying between the retina and the sclera.

Cotton wool spots

Cotton wool spots are an abnormal finding on funduscopic exam of the retina of the eye.

Dilated fundus examination

Dilated fundus examination or dilated-pupil fundus examination (DFE) is a diagnostic procedure that employs the use of mydriatic eye drops (such as tropicamide) to dilate or enlarge the pupil in order to obtain a better view of the fundus of the eye.

Exudate

An exudate is a fluid emitted by an organism through pores or a wound, a process known as exuding.

Fovea centralis

The fovea centralis is a small, central pit composed of closely packed cones in the eye.

Fundus photography

Fundus photography involves capturing a photograph of the back of the eye i.e. fundus.

Human eye

The human eye is an organ which reacts to light and pressure.

Hypertensive retinopathy

Hypertensive retinopathy is damage to the retina and retinal circulation due to high blood pressure (i.e. hypertension).

Lens (anatomy)

The lens is a transparent, biconvex structure in the eye that, along with the cornea, helps to refract light to be focused on the retina.

Leukocoria

Leukocoria (also leukokoria or white pupillary reflex) is an abnormal white reflection from the retina of the eye.

Macula of retina

The macula or macula lutea is an oval-shaped pigmented area near the center of the retina of the human eye and some other animalian eyes.

Medical sign

A medical sign is an objective indication of some medical fact or characteristic that may be detected by a patient or anyone, especially a physician, before or during a physical examination of a patient.

Microcirculation

Microcirculation is the circulation of the blood in the smallest blood vessels, present within organ tissues.

Ophthalmoscopy

Ophthalmoscopy, also called funduscopy, is a test that allows a health professional to see inside the fundus of the eye and other structures using an ophthalmoscope (or funduscope).

Optic disc

The optic disc or optic nerve head is the point of exit for ganglion cell axons leaving the eye.

Pigment

A pigment is a material that changes the color of reflected or transmitted light as the result of wavelength-selective absorption.

Posterior pole

In ophthalmology, the posterior pole is the back of the eye, usually referring to the retina between the optic disc and the macula.

Primate

A primate is a mammal of the order Primates (Latin: "prime, first rank").

Pulse

In medicine, a pulse represents the tactile arterial palpation of the heartbeat by trained fingertips.

Red-eye effect

The red-eye effect in photography is the common appearance of red pupils in color photographs of the eyes of humans and several other animals.

Retina

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

Tapetum lucidum

The tapetum lucidum (Latin: "bright tapestry; coverlet", plural tapeta lucida) is a layer of tissue in the eye of many vertebrates.
