Use of the Optomap with lid retraction and its sensitivity and specificity #

Background:  Optomap uses the ultra‐wide field scanning laser ophthalmoscopy to provide retinal examination. It permits fundus examination without the use of a mydriatic, which is more comfortable for the patients. This paper determines the sensitivity and specificity of the Optomap for detecting retinal signs under non‐mydriatic conditions.
