Dilated fundus examination(DFE) is diagnostic procedure that employs the use of mydriatic eye drops to dilate or enlarge the pupil in order to obtain a better view of the internal surface of the eye (i.e. fundus) with an ophthalmoscope.[1] DFE has been found to be a more effective method for evaluation internal ocular health than non-dilated examination.[1] It is frequently performed by ophthalmologists and optometrists as part of an eye examination.
