- Abstract
The foveal OCT scans of both eyes showed a large area of absent RPE which had increased over time from 389 to 1650 µm in the right eye (M versus W), and from 696 to 1563 µm in the left eye (L versus T). gl In 2010, when the first OCT scan using the Spectralis HRA + OCT device had been performed, the choroidal thickness was 305 µm in the right eye, and 241 µm in the left eye. At the first visit to our outpatient clinic (in 2007), the fundus photograph of the right eye (A) and the left eye (B) showed macular alterations of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and central deposition of yellowish material, compatible with some form of adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy, without drusen. The foveal OCT scans of both eyes showed a large area of absent RPE that had increased from 389 µm to 1650 µm in the right eye, and from 696 µm to 1563 µm in the left eye (Fig. Case 1 A 68-year-old hyperopic woman (+4 dioptres) did not have visual complaints of her right eye at presentation in our hospital, after a referral from an ophthalmologist in a peripheral hospital.
