The peripheral retina is a critical element in the effective diagnosis, management, prognosis, and follow-up of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and retinal vascular diseases such as retinal vein occlusion (RVO). As early as the 1970s, experts in our field recognized that abnormalities in the periphery likely had clinical significance,1 but it would be several decades before technology to easily and effectively capture images of the periphery would be readily accessible.

Figure 1. The SSF overlay on a UWF image shows how much peripheral retina is missed with standard imaging in diabetes evaluation.

The ability to easily and quickly capture images of the peripheral retina has provided insights into the importance of disease-related pathology that was previously unavailable. For example, using ultra-widefield (UWF) retinal imaging, Silva et al s...
