Multiple small white dots are apparent in the posterior pole and extendto the mid periphery with abnormal intervening retinal pigmentation. Figure 2. 55 Degree fundus autofluorescence image of the right eye centered on the macula. Hyper-reflective areas on the optic nerve head are seen, as consistent with optic disc drusen.
