Peripheral pigmentary changes
Dr Hagen, I had scleral depression to check for tears, detachments etc. The only finding was peripheral pigmentary changes. Are these an incidental finding/benign? The doctor didn't mention it, but i just read it her notes
Yes, they are incidental and always present, so much we usually don't mention them. The layer under the retina is the retinal pigmented epithelium and the pigment migrates from there.

It it was your eye MD would have said so.
Thank you!
