Ophthalmoscopy or fundoscopy is visual examination of the fundus with an ophthalmoscope.
Fundus is the medical term meaning base.
The damaged retinal blood vessels and other retinal changes are visible to an eye doctor when an examination of the retina (fundus exam) is done. This can be done using a hand-held instrument called an ophthalmoscope.
The fundus is the base of the uterus
A fundus examination is a detailed examination of the back of the eye, including the retina and blood vessels. When the fundus is described as unremarkable, it means that no abnormal findings or abnormalities were noted during the examination. This is a positive outcome indicating that the structures at the back of the eye appear normal.

The ophthalmoscope is an instrument used to examine the fundus, or eyeball interior, to determine visually the condition of the retina, optic disc, and internal blood vessels. Certain pathologic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis, and degenerative changes of the optic nerve and retina can be detected by such an examination.-page 375 of Human Anatomy & Physiology Laboratory Manual, 10th Ed, Marieb & Mitchell

When the fundus is not visualized during a medical examination, it usually means that the back part of the eye where the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels are located cannot be clearly seen. This may be due to cataracts, vitreous hemorrhage, corneal opacity, or other conditions that obstruct the view of the fundus. Further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause.

CPT code 92004 refers to a comprehensive ophthalmological examination, which includes a detailed evaluation of the patient's visual system, medical history, and any necessary diagnostic tests. This code is typically used for new patients or those returning after a significant absence. The examination may involve various assessments such as visual acuity, pupil response, and fundus examination. It is important for documenting and billing for the services provided during the eye examination.
