Advantages of direct ophthalmoscopy have traditionally included ... a 15× magnified view of the posterior pole that facilitates appreciation of small, dynamic changes of the ocular fundus, such as venous pulsations and circulatory changes[, and] wide availability and portability—the direct ophthalmoscope is easily carried in the pocket of a clinician's coat and can be used in settings where other methods of ocular fundus examination are unavailable ... 4, record 1, English, - direct%20ophthalmoscopy

Ophtalmoscopie directe. L'examen direct des structures du fond d'œil à l'aide d'un ophtalmoscope peut révéler une maladie de l'œil lui-même ou une anomalie liée à une pathologie ailleurs dans le corps (par exemple : diabète, hypertension systémique, pression intracrânienne élevée). Le principal avantage de l'ophtalmoscopie directe est qu'elle peut être utilisée au lit du patient. L'image obtenue est considérablement agrandie (15 fois la taille normale) [...] 2, record 1, French, - ophtalmoscopie%20directe
