PACES Window!
One of the station that most PACES candidate fear is fundus station. In this station, our fate is dependent on the small window i.e. pupil. I had a bad experience during PACES exam as the patient's pupils were not well dilated during my PM session. Later, I only learnt that the pupils will only be dilated once in PACES. So, if you do get a "small window", remember to commend that your examination of the fundus is suboptimal.
I found a visual guide on fundocopic examination by California State University. Hope it helps.

Something from my experience...
Sometimes the abnormality is confined to one eye. If you're not so lucky to begin with the good eye, don't panic and don't linger on that eye for too long looking for something that isn't there.
This happened to me in my PACES. When I moved on to the next eye I was beyond relief to see some pathology.

I absolutely agree with you. The clue of diagnosis may be on the legs i.e. diabetic dermopathy!!
