There may be occassions where your physician cannot view the retina due to some opacity that blocks the view - this is when we may use Ultrasound to determine the general status of the retina.
Ultrasound is a test that uses sound waves to assess ocular and retinal conditions and is commonly used to assess the retina in patients with a dense cataract or vitreous hemorrhage.
The best part for you? Ultrasound is simple to perform, painless, and does not involve any radiation.
