Case history

A 41-year-old male presented with a 6-week history of distortion in his right eye. He was otherwise systemically well. He was born in England and had immigrated to Australia at the age of 15 years.

Best corrected visual acuities were 6/7.5 in the right eye (OD) and 6/6 in the left eye (OS). Examination of the fundi revealed multiple, well-circumscribed, yellow and deep drusenoid deposits in the macula and nasal peripapillary region of both eyes (Figure 1). Pigmentary changes were noted in the right macula. The left optic nerve showed an incidental finding of an optic disc pit.
