Comments and Conclusions • Using OCT, Bergmeister's Papillae (BP) are found in about 73% of normal, young eyes.2 • Persistence of the fetal vasculature (PFV) is a clinically useful, encompassing term that includes BP and prepapillary vascular loops as well as anterior remnants of FV.1 • BP are often found nasally, hence position can
