Abstract:
In 10 patients who complained of photopsia or "spots before their eyes", indirect ophthalmoscopy with scleral depressor was performed very carefully. In 7 out of 10 of these patients, we found retinal holes which were not easily detectable. Also, on 3 of these 7 patients, prophylactic cryopexy was performed. Therefore, we feel that indirect ophthalmoscopy should be done not only on patients who present these symptoms, but this examination should also be performed on asymptomatic patients as well.
