  Purpose: To describe the clinical and optical coherence tomography findings of Adult-Onset Foveo-Macular Vitelliform Dystrophy (AFVD) mimicking age related macular degeneration. Method: A retrospective study design was employed which reviewed clinical and optical coherence tomography images of patients with adult-onset foveo-macular vitelliform dystrophy from September 2019 to March 2021. Result: There were 12 (9 male and 3 female) study subjects with a mean age of 62.75 years. The presenting visual acuity ranged from 20/100 to 20/20. Of 19 eyes, 10 eyes showed vitelliform lesions; 5 eyes had pseudo-hypopyons, and 4 eyes were in the vitelliruptive stage. OCT showed disruption of the IS/OS interface in 8/19 eyes (3 eyes with stage I, 1 in stage II, and 4 eyes with stage III disease). Optically clear (non-refl.. View More»
