Case 1: Mrs B is a 55-year-old woman who was referred by her optometrist with suspected retinitis pigmentosa. She had no known ocular, systemic or family history of significance. On examination, her best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/6 on the right (plano/-0.25x85) and 6/7.5 on the left (plano/-1.25x10). Her anterior segments appeared healthy and her intraocular pressures were normal. Her wide-field fundus photographs and macular OCT scans (Fig 1) showed inferior pigmentary changes, as well as a moderate epiretinal membrane in her left eye. Indented peripheral retinal examination showed trace inferior subretinal fluid but no signs of a retinal break.
