• Macula Dimpling?

• My daughter saw the eye doctor this week and he said that she appears to have some "dimpling" of her macula. She has early signs of RP but not too serious yet. She is 11 years old. Her dad has RP as well. Does anyone know anything about macula dimpling?

• Perhaps it's a reference to a wrinkle or pucker of the macular, also known as an epiretinal membrane. Although there is surgery for that, I don't think anyone does it unless there a great deal of limited visual acuity, at least that's what my opthomologist implied. In any case, an epiretinal membrane causes some distortion and probably isn't noticeable to your daughter.
