Optomap® color fundus image of left eye Similar retinal lesions are observed in the left eye but the C/D ratio is approx. .8 with an inferior temporal notch. There are also 3 dark zones superiorly which are shadows cast by dense posterior capsule lens opacities superior to the visual axis as observed with slit
Optomap® color fundus image of right eye Note the large macula lesion with pigment atrophy and hypertrophy, the widespread deep retinal lesions or "flecks" and the approx. .65 C/D ratio.
History/Chief Complaint A 46 year old Hispanic high school math teacher presented for follow-up for Stargardt's macula degeneration diagnosed decades earlier and normal tension glaucoma more recently detected. One sister had Stargardt's macula degeneration and another had glaucoma. Alphagan TID OU, Travatan qhs OU and two selective laser trabeculectomies (SLTs) OU have recently lowered IOPs
