A lot of recent advances have taken place in the field of medicine, both in terms of modern techniques and instruments. In the field of ophthalmology, besides slit lamp, autorefractor fundus camera machines for laser and corneal topography perimetry. We have now got OCT not only that, we have now portable smartphone type of fundus camera. Similarly, in the field of medicine besides ultrasound, we have CT scan MRI pat scan and many more.
But the big question is, are we making a legitimate use of these instruments? Say, for example, does every patient of a headache needs CT scan head or does every patient with diabetes mellitus needs FFA or OCT clinical examination? Still has a great scope and only after a good clinical examination, a clinician thinks of this one can perform investigations on them. Share your opinion.
