A 12-year-old male reports a one day history of “blurred vision.” No pain, history of trauma, or other complaints. He states that his vision seems “cloudy.” He lives with his parents, two siblings, and multiple cats and kittens. His exam is significant for a visual acuity of 20/20 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left. External and slit lamp exams are otherwise unremarkable. His dilated fundus examination and OCT images are shown above.
