characterized by a network of hyperpigmentation, resembling a fishing net with knots, located in the RPE and a presumed unaffected choriocapillaris. The network of hyperpigmentation extends from the macula in all directions. With age, most lesions fade away. However, some are replaced with atrophic changes in the RPE. Patients should be reassured that their condition generally does not significantly affect their vision and is very slow to progress. Pattern dystrophies have previously been misdiagnosed as AMD, which has led to unnecessary emotional stress in patients concerned with impending vision loss and unnecessary treatments, such as vitamin supplements and anti-VEGF injections.
