A 35-year-old asymptomatic mild myope was referred with bilateral macular findings. The patient had a history of renal failure requiring renal transplant and immunosuppression. On examination his visual acuities were 6/9 bilaterally and intraocular pressures were normal. Both corneae were clear and there were no cataracts. Posterior segment examination demonstrated a bilateral perimacular fleck retinopathy (Figure 1 and 2).
