Study start date: August 1, 2011

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether showing a video clip with sound of the patient's choice can improve the ease of fundoscopic exam as defined by improved success of visualizing the optic disk and the reduction in time needed to perform the exam. The investigators will also examine the physician's and caregiver's perception on whether the video was effective in improving the ease of the exam. The purpose of the video is to capture the visual attention of the patient thereby allowing the physician to swiftly perform the fundoscopic exam. The literature has suggested that young patients are most uncooperative, therefore the investigators will focus our study on younger patients 1-8 years old.
