Clinical assessment of retinal elevations: a review of methods and a novel clinical technique

G E Rose. Br J Ophthalmol. 1988 Sep.

Abstract

A new clinical test for the detection of retinal elevation is described. The test, based on alterations of retinal surface light reflexes during indirect ophthalmoscopy, is extremely sensitive to very shallow detachments. The optics, the degree of sensitivity, and the limitations of the new clinical technique are examined and other clinical methods are reviewed.
