The patient presented with flashes of light; lattice degeneration was seen with two small retinal tears at each edge.
This vitreoretinal interface abnormality is found in 6-10% of the general population, and is more common – but not limited to – myopic eyes. It may predispose to retinal detachment. Prophylactic treatment of the retinal breaks using argon laser was performed around the entire lattice and tears.
