This is a rather poor photograph taken in 1969 but is important for comparison with the next slide pair. It shows a cystic retinal tuft in a 49-year-old woman and was taken without scleral indentation. The two pigment spots just inferior to the tuft represent a secondary degenerative change in the pigment epithelium.

Condition/keywords: cystic retinal tuft, degenerative changes of retinal pigment epithelium, pigmented spots

This is a developmental abnormality in a 59-year-old man. It is an enclosed ora bay on the temporal side, an isolated island of normal pars plana epithelium. It is important not to confuse this entity with a retinal break. It has smooth, sloping borders not a sharp, thin, visible retinal edge as a retinal break would have. The border looks exactly like that of the ora serrata, and the grayish pigmented base has the same appearance as the normal pars plana.

Condition/keywords: developmental abnormality, enclosed ora bay, grayish pigmented base, horizontal nasal meridian, pars plana epithelium, smooth sloping borders, temporal retina

A 38-year-old male who comes in with blurred vision in the left eye. VA is 20/30. Noticed a defect inferior of his central vision. Did an fluorescein angiogram to determine an RPE with no sub retinal fluid. Also OCT confirms. Patient was injected with Avastin.

Patient with a history of wet macular degeneration and glaucoma in both eyes. VA is 20/50, right eye, 20/80, left eye. Patient is treated with Eylea in both eyes. Enhanced depth imaging OCT reveals a small like form of a cyst which in fact isn't a cyst at all. This is called outer retinal tubulation in which degenerating photo-receptors may become arranged in a circular or ovoid fashion. This is sometimes misdiagnosed as cystic changes in the retinal pigment epithelium or sub-retinal fluid.

This glistening yellow globular lesion is a so-called pearl of the ora serrata in a 45-year-old man. Notice location in the tooth of the ora, which is a characteristic of this lesion. Histologically pearls are drusen-like structures which form on the inner side of Bruch’s membrane beneath the pigment epithelium. They are seen in about 20% of eyes and are often bilaterally symmetrical. They have no clinical significance but are valuable as landmarks.

Condition/keywords: Bruch's membrane, drusen-like, ora serrata
