Question: What four structures do we check on retinal exam?

Answer: With documenting retinal findings, the four main structures checked are the Macula, Vessels, Periphery, and Disk (optic nerve). The acronym I like to use is MVP-D. For example, you might write:

MVPD wnl ou

or

Macula: flat, good reflex
Vessels: mild attenuation
Periphery: flat, no tears or holes
Disk: pink, cup-to-disk ratio 0.3
