Ultrawide-angle retinal imaging and retinal detachment.
OBJECTIVE
To illustrate the utility of ultrawide-angle fundus imaging in documenting the clinical course of a retinal detachment.


METHODS
Observational case report.


METHODS
A 20-year-old man with high myopia and a blind fellow eye noted symptoms of retinal detachment and was imaged with an ultrawide-angle fundus imaging device (Optos P200). Imaging was performed after scleral buckling and before and after additional vitreoretinal surgery.


RESULTS
Ultrawide-angle images were useful in delineating the extent of retinal detachment even in the presence of intraocular gas.


CONCLUSIONS
The ability to rapidly image the ocular fundus well anterior to the equator facilitates clinical management and may prove particularly useful in electronic record keeping.
