Case history

A 51-year-old male was referred from his optometrist with distortion and reduced vision in his right eye over 4 weeks. Best corrected visual acuities were 6/9 in the right eye (OD) and 6/6 in the left eye (OS). Intraocular pressures were 15mmHg in both eyes. Examination of the anterior segment was normal. Examination of the right macula revealed an altered foveal reflex with slight loss of retinal transparency temporal to the fovea (Figure 1). Similar but more subtle changes were evident in the left eye.
