Black
Solid red
• Attached retina
• Retinal arterioles
• Haemorrhages (pre-retinal and intra-retinal)
• Neovascularization
• Vascular abnormalities\ anomalies
• Vortex veins
• Open interior of conventional retinal breaks (tears,
holes)
• Open interior of outer layer holes in retinoschisis
• Normal macula is drawn as a red dot
Cross lined red
• Open portion of GRT or large dialyses
• Inner portion of CRA
• Inner portion of thin areas of retina
• Open portion of retinal holes in inner layer of
retinoschisis
Solid blue
• Detached retina
• Retinal veins
• Outlines of retinal breaks
• Outlines of ora serrata
• Meridional, radial, fixed & circumferential folds
• Outline of flat neo-vascularization
• Outline of lattice degeneration [inner ‘x’]
• Outline of thin areas of retina
• Intra-retinal cysts [with overlying curvilinear stripes to
show configuration]

Retinal Drawing in case of RD:
Steps
1. Draw the shape of the detachment accurately
2. Bullous or shallow
3. Status of Macula
4. Demarcation line
5. Identify and draw the holes
6. Traction folds
7. Retinal creases
8. Fixed folds
