GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:fundo ocular
English translation:ocular fundus, fundus oculi, eyegrounds
Entered by: Catarina Gouveia

Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Science - Medical (general) / Ophthalmology
Portuguese term or phrase: fundo ocular
Contexto (Resumo de Características de Medicamento - Summary of Product Characteristics):

"A midríase é útil para melhor visualização do fundo ocular, particularmente quando há hipotransparência dos meios ópticos e em especial para observar a periferia da retina."

Sabem como se diz "fundo ocular" em EN?

Encontro algumas entradas no google com "ocular background", mas são poucas e a expressão soa-me mal.

Obrigada pela atenção!

ocular fundus
Explanation:
This is the standard term. "Eye fundus" is a popular term and is used only 30% as much as "ocular fundus" - per Internet.

I sure hope that we are making an effort to get standardized medical terms into the glossary instead of simply "what people say." In the US and many international organizations, Dorland is considered the standard for medical terminology in English.

Nenhuma das sugestões parece estar incorrecta, mas "ocular fundus" é a que me parece mais apropriada.

No entanto, vou adicionar "fundus oculi" e "eyegrounds" como alternativas no Glossário KudoZ.


Muito obrigada a todos os participantes!!

Bom trabalho para todos!

neutral  Gilmar Fernandes: Pls. enlighten us with your supporting material. Where is the link from DORLAND ? I see you're an expert on medical translations and don't doubt your answer, but Fiona's answer is backed up by a reputable source such as Wikepedia.

  -> "Dorland's Medical Dictionary" - personally, I would refuse to undertake a translation in a field for which I was not familiar with the basic references.
