It is most often discussed in eye exams when clinicians look at the retina during a dilated fundus evaluation. A retinal embolus can be an incidental finding or appear in the setting of sudden vision symptoms. The term is commonly used in ophthalmology, optometry, and vascular medicine because it may reflect disease outside the eye."}
