Isolated foveal hypoplasia in a diabetes patient: a case report

Abstract

Isolated foveal hypoplasia is a rare cause of visual loss. Here, we report the unusual clinical presentation of a 61-year-old Chinese men who presented with hard exudates of low density in the temporal retina, absent foveal reflex, and foveal hypoplasia. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.9 and 0.7 (right and left eye respectively). This case highlights the importance of multicolour imaging to help distinguish or study isolated foveal hypoplasia.
