• peripheral pigment mottling on the retina

• I have rp (autosomal dominant). My niece went for her regular check up with her eye dr. and he thought he saw rp. He referred her to an opthamologist and he said it wasn't rp but peripheral pigment mottling on her retina. Has anyone heard of this? Her dr. says this happens in very fair skinned people. We both are fair. My daughter (24) was diagnosed 2 yrs. ago. My niece is 39 and has gone for regular check ups knowing she has a family history of rp. This is the first time her regular dr. has said anything. Does this mottling just suddenly appear? Should she go for a second opinion? Any other thoughts?
