PURPOSE: Ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging is commonly used in ophthalmology in tandem with scleral depressed examinations (SDE) to evaluate peripheral retinal disease. Due to increased reliance of this technology in tele-ophthalmology, it is critical to evaluate its efficacy for detecting the peripheral retina when performed in isolation. Therefore, we sought to evaluate UWF imaging sensitivity in detecting retinal horseshoe tears (HST). DESIGN: A retrospective clinical validity and reliability study METHODS: A single-institutional retrospective analysis was performed on patients at the Shiley Eye Institute, UC, San Diego...
