| Everyone's
retina has a small variation in appearance which is why identification
systems can "fingerprint" by retinal scan. Our optic nerves
are the whole yellowish circle and may have a small depression in
the center known as the optic cup. The optic nerve may also have
crescents on the outside edges.
The general retinal color, usually reddish, is due in part to the blood vessels in deeper layers of the retina and can create the "red eye" effect in a photograph seen in the pupil area due to the sum of the reflections off the retinal blood vessels. Some people have more pigment in their retinas which makes the retina look darker. Most retinal variations are normal findings however the photos taken of patients serve as baseline data which can be used for future exams. Any changes in the size or shape of lesions can be compared to previous photos. |
