Discomfort During Scleral Depression with Schocket Depressor and Cotton Tipped Applicator
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain immediately after scleral depression was completed. The VAS scale used was a 100mm long line with 0 representing no pain at all and 100 representing the worst pain possible.
Time frame: Pain evaluated immediately scleral depression was completed on the eye

The association of discomfort experienced during scleral depression and the patients hemoglobin A1c.
Time frame: 1 year
Spherical Equivalent of Glasses Prescription
The association of discomfort experienced during scleral depression and the patients spherical equivalent of their glasses prescription.
Time frame: 1 day
Age
The association of discomfort experienced during scleral depression and the patients age based on those less than 65 versus those greater than 65 years of age
Time frame: 1 day
Left Eye vs Right Eye
The association of discomfort experienced during scleral depression and the patients left and right eyes. Of note, each eye had a separate method of scleral depression performed.
