Unexpected Genetic Cause in Two Female Siblings with High Myopia and Reduced Visual Acuity

Figure 2

Fundus appearance of the index case 2837.01 and her father 2837.03. (a) Index case at age 4.25 y: stretched posterior pole including oblique entry of the optic nerve, typical for high axial length myopia. Refraction measurements in mydriasis at several visits ranged from −16 dpt to −12.5 dpt spherical equivalent. (b) Her father (at 26.75 y): slightly pale optic nerve head. The periphery was unremarkable. (c) Fundus auto fluorescence in the father was unremarkable.
