Diagnosis of retinopathy generally involves a thorough ophthalmologic examination. Key diagnostic tools include:
- Fundoscopy: An examination of the back of the eye. - Fluorescein Angiography: A test to visualize blood flow in the retina. - Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Imaging to provide detailed cross-sections of the retina.
In cancer patients, it is crucial for the ophthalmologist to consider the patient's cancer history and current treatments when diagnosing retinopathy.
