Vision was 20/30 OD and 20/25 OS. Pupils were equal and reactive, with no relative afferent pupillary defect. His medications included Clopidegrol, Xalerto, Bisoprolol, and Rosuvastatin. The fundus photograph of the left eye is shown below:
Question: OS OCT Macula is shown on the left. What layer is abnormal?
Question: What is the diagnosis?
Question: What ocular condition can be associated with the development of this OCT finding?
Learning Objectives:
1. Recognize PAMM on OCT, which is characterized by a hyper-reflective band that affects the inner nuclear layer.
