One can photograph many things
We see this on slit lamp photomicrography routinely
We already know histopathologically that BDR carries with it microangiopathy
Now are are able to clinically image that

But I ask the question, just because you can image it, does it change the
clinical management?
Recent literature would suggest we may well need to shift our paradigm on
Background or NPDR thinking

LOL Sandor. We did some comparison of images with the Zeiss FF3 and our Optos
when we first got it. Patients would seem to have BDR without ischemia until we
looked in the far periphery and noted small areas of ischemia with associated
NVE.

Thanks,
EK

It is a nice lens, takes nice pictures, and it has its place but I guess I am

Where have all the retina docs gone that would not even look at images wider
than 35 degrees?

Guess the old school docs have retired also just like us older imagers!!!!
