Scleral Indentation: Evaluation Of Peripheral Retina Through Technical Procedure, Instrumentation Comparison And Patient Perspective.

AIn evaluation was made of 30 patients who were known to have some form of peripheral retina degeneration or abnormality. The patients were subject to three different techniques used to examine the peripheral retina; Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscopy, the Goldmann Three-Mirror Lens, and Scleral Indentation. Both objective and subjective opinions were formed as the comparison between techniques and instruments ensued . Scleral indentation frequently demonstrated the peripheral abnormalities were very observable by ophthalmic examination. This paper suggests that scleral indentation is an advanced yet simple procedure that is painless for the patient and convenient for the doctor.
