A 28-year-old male was referred with incidental retinal findings in his right eye.

Case history

A 28-year-old high myope was referred with incidental retinal findings in his right eye found on routine examination. He was asymptomatic and denied blurred vision, floaters, photopsia or a peripheral scotoma. He was a contact lens wearer correcting myopia of -7.5D in both eyes. He had no history of previous ocular trauma, surgery or laser. His optometrist noted the retinal changes in the right eye and referred him for a further opinion and management.

On examination his visual acuity was 6/6 bilaterally and intraocular pressures were normal. Anterior segment examination was unremarkable. Posterior segment examination demonstrated a tessellated fundus appearance in both eyes consistent with the high myopia. There was a subtle subretinal elevation inferior to the fovea and horizontal white pigmented lines inferotemporally (Figure 1).
