Posterior Pole Retinal Abnormalities in Mild Asymptomatic FEVR [Retina]

Conclusions.
Asymptomatic individuals with stage I or II FEVR had several abnormalities in the posterior pole noted with more retinal vessels, a significantly larger disc-to-macula distance as well as a remarkably smaller optic disc with a decreased horizontal diameter. These findings will facilitate the early diagnosis of FEVR and are important for adequate genetic counseling as well as the prevention and treatment of this disease.
