It seems that she has the right eye is visualized here.What appears to me is blurring of the upper & lower margins of the disc,with the disappearance of the physiological cup&slightly distended veins, which implies the early changes of papilloedema.These changes could be due to the benign idiopathin ICP secondry to Steriods what I think.The split S2 on deep inspiration is insignificant.

eyes are viewed as if you are looking at the patient, therefore looking at this fundoscopy its as if you are facing the patient, which is how you can work out which side it is.

blood pressure too low for hypertensive retinopathy, no need to repeat it.
