Description Acute visual loss (AVL) is a common chief complaint in Emergency Department (ED) patients, but its evaluation is made difficult by the lack of ophthalmologists readily available in most EDs. We evaluated whether non-mydriatic fundus photography (NMFP) obtained in the ED helps triage patients presenting to the ED with AVL, whether interpreted by ED providers (EPs) or remotely by neuro-ophthalmologists.
