Blood pressure recorded in the office was 230/105. There was mild nuclear sclerosis. Both fundi are characterized by multiple vascular abnormalities consistent with nerve fibers infarcts, hemorrhages (both deep and superficial), and occasional microaneurysms. In OS, there is a large subretinal and preretinal hemorrhage in the macula. This is surrounded by a wreath of outer retinal exudates.
