Abstract:
Asymptomatic retinal emboli are found in 1-3% of patients on routine fundus examination. As the use of teleretinal imaging for diabetic patients and ocular photography continues to increase, the number of asymptomatic retinal emboli found will also increase. This article will discuss the different aetiologies of retinal emboli and will present an overview of the recommended referrals for further systemic testing and treatment. It is important to communicate well with the primary care physician when asymptomatic retinal emboli are detected to ensure the appropriate investigations are undertaken.
