At first glance, the color fundus photos suggested the fovea was spared but multimodal imaging told a different story.

Autofluorescence and OCT confirmed foveal-involved geographic atrophy in both eyes. This case is a perfect reminder of how multimodal imaging can be in uncovering what’s not immediately visible.

Huge shoutout to Nancy Nghe, OD at for this referral! Thanks to smart imaging and early referral, this patient is getting the care they need.

July Image of the Month features a Gyrate Atrophy. In this fluorescein angiogram of a patient with gyrate atrophy, we see the choroidal circulation in exquisite detail because the overlying retina and choroid have degenerated. Gyrate Atrophy is caused by a rare autosomal recessive mutation that causes a deficiency of ornithine aminotransferase. Loss of this enzyme leads to toxic build up of ornithine in the choroid and retina. There is no cure for gyrate atrophy, though treatments that lower ornithine levels by restricting arginine or supplementing vitamin B6.

June Image of the Month features an Asteroid Hyalosis. No, this isn't a snow globe, but asteroid hyalosis! Asteroid Hyalosis is characterized by calcium-lipid asteroid bodies that are suspended in the collagen fibrils of the vitreous. We aren't entirely sure what causes asteroid hyalosis, but it is almost always a benign process and surprisingly, does not cause visual disturbance. Very rarely is any intervention necessary to treat this process. While it is fun to look at, it can make accurate examination and imaging of the retina more challenging.
