A member asked:

When is scleral depression indicated?doc said it was not required for me.he did a dilated non-depressed exam to review my symptomatic lattice(retina).

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Most retina specialists will do this as a routine part of their peripheral retina exam. Some general ophthalmologists will only do it if they are suspicious of something in the back of the eye.
