ophthalmology exam s/l dismaculan vessels - starstruck

Posted: Jun 15, 2010

The doc says "Retina examination shows normal _____ vessels." After having googled and googled, I wonder if he is saying disk macula and vessels or maybe disk-macula and vessels. I have found a hyphenated "disk-macula" but only once, so I don't know whether to trust this or not. And it could be something else. It could be "dis-something," but I just can't find anything that begins with "dis" related to eye anatomy. It could be "disk," which actually would make some sense, with the doc slurring the "k" sound. But again, I'm not sure. Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

Need some help with these terms that are some type of eye surgery. They are mentioned in the past medical history.
