    Five year-old girl came for regular eye examination with no complaints. Medical and ophthalmic history was unremarkable. On examination, visual acuity was 20/25 in both eyes. A Retinal Astrocytic Hamartoma was seen adjacent to the right optic nerve (picture). The rest of the eye examination was normal and no Lisch nodules were seen. The patient was referred for a pediatric neurologist examination and MRI scan of the brain.
