Abstract:
The hallmark of the recent latest advances in diagnostic fundus imaging technology is combination of complex hierarchical levels and depths,as well as wide-angle imaging,ultra-wide imaging.The clinical application of wide-angle and ultra-wide imaging,not only can reevaluate the role of the peripheral retina,the classification types and treatment modalities of central retinal vein occlusion,and enhance the reliability of diabetic retinopathy screening,improve the classification and therapeutic decision of diabetic retinopathy,and but also can help guide and improve laser photocoagulation.However we must clearly recognize that the dominant role of ophthalmologists in the diagnosis of ocular fundus diseases cannot be replaced by any advanced fundus imaging technology including wide-angle imaging.We emphasize to use the three factors of cognitive performance (technology,knowledge and thinking) to improve the diagnosis of ocular fundus diseases in China.
