This is most prominent in her right eye and is ofcourse completely benign. In cases of similar bilateral lesions , one may need to consider retinal dystrophies as a potential differential…

A quick case highlighting the importance of a retinal peripheral fundus examination. This patient is myopic and has some changes of myopia in the posterior pole but it is only when the peripheral retina is examined carefully that we note a few interesting chorioretinal lesions.

This was sent to me recently as it looked a little atypical for a retinoschisis and was promptly referred . Its suspicios features are the variation in colour and pigment change that makes it suspicous for a choroidal mass lesion.
