The Corrales floater documentation method identifies which floaters bother the patient most, which may differ from those seen by the doctor.
This method is especially useful for locating small floaters in young patients and is revealing when patients draw floaters larger than they are.
Dr. Corrales has perfected this method, allowing patients to see and differentiate floaters, draw them to scale, and sign the drawing. The drawing is then photographed upside down and added to their electronic record. Dr. Corrales views the photograph to see the floater in its true position in the eye. The patient’s drawing guides Dr. Corrales’ examination, and comparisons are made between the drawing and actual photographs before surgery.
