Histology, the study of tissues at the microscopic level, provides valuable insights when correlated with findings from a dilated fundus examination. For example: - Retinal Layers: Histological examination can reveal changes in the different retinal layers, such as thinning or thickening, which might correlate with clinical findings. - Cellular Changes: Observations of cellular changes like the presence of microglia or drusen can provide clues to underlying pathologies. - Vascular Integrity: The condition of blood vessels, including any signs of microaneurysms or hemorrhages, can be better understood when histological data is considered.
