Photodocumentation of the optic nerve head
Colour testing with Velhagen-chart

To exclude retinal disease

a. measurement of the structural changes of the retina

in gliosis, traction syndromes, membranes, macula hole formation
in diabetes with diabetic maculopathy
in occlusion / thrombosis / inflammation of retinal vessels

b. examination of the retina for vitreous detachment, retinal degeneration / hole / detachment, arterial hypertension
c. autofluorescence of the retina
