Background:
Accurate documentation and follow-up of pathological findings of the macula require graphical methods for clinical evaluation.
Methods:
Symbols describing and identifying different findings of the macula were evolved. A pattern for the standardised representation of the macular region -- with size and distribution of different areas -- was also developed.
Results:
Use of different symbols supported by a standard pattern of the macula as background simplifies documentation of pathological macular findings.
Conclusions:
Graphical documentation of pathological macular findings allows simple, inexpensive and standardised assessment of such findings.
