Scleral depression: As good ad optomap photograghy may be it will not substitute a retina indirect exam along with scleral depression to see the peripheral retina better & rule out a tear. If you have a defect in the retina that needs laser retinopexy usually a green laser will be used. Please see a retina specialist.
