ABSTRACT
We have reviewed the usefulness of the fundus photography in ophthalmological mass screening by investigating 8391 cases of fundus photography by non-midriatic fundus camera at Seoul Paik Hospital Health Clinic. In the reported close examination cases of 783(9.3%), it turned out that actual cases closey examined in the eye clinic were 142(18.1%), and among them 54 cases were diagnosed as eye diseases. Out of the 75 cases who were examined for glaucoma suspect, 13(17.3%) were diagnosed as glaucoma. Among the 13 cases of glaucoma, 10(76.9%) were normal tension glaucoma. As the result of this study, fundus photography appears to be effective for the detection of glaucoma, especially normal tension glaucoma. However, it is necessary to raise the rate of close examinations in order to enhance the usefulness of fundus photography.
