Last additions - Myopic Degeneration - Dry 55-year-old woman has myopic macular degeneration in both eyes. She has recently noticed a problem with her vision and an Amsler grid change starting a few days ago in the left eye.
VISUAL ACUITY: OD: 20/60. PH: 20/25. OS: 20/200. PH: 20/30. IOP: OS: 13. OS: There is 1+ nuclear sclerosis.
EXTENDED OPHTHALMOSCOPY:
OS: Vertical C/D ratio is 0.1. There is a posterior staphyloma. There are pigment irregularities in the macula. There is no subretinal fluid, hemorrhage or exudate.
The OCT scan was unreliable.
A fluorescein angiogram shows no leakage from any of the macular lesions.
IMPRESSION:
1. MYOPIC MACULAR DEGENERATION IN THE LEFT EYE.
