The size is about 1 / 4-3 / 2 of the diameter of optic disc (PD). Most of them are below 1pd. There were arc-shaped or ring-shaped bleeding at the edge of the lesion, and occasionally radial punctate bleeding. There was a pigmented band around the lesion. Most of the lesions were centered on the fovea and within the radius of 1pd. At the end of the course, the macular area formed yellow white scar.

Fundus examination: in patients with central vision decline, often macular lesions are not significant, the two are not proportional; Subsequently, the foveal reflection disappeared, and uneven pigment spots appeared, showing gray reflection. Finally, the macular degeneration was separated from the pigment circular area, with gold foil like reflection. The choroid became white, the blood vessels became thin, and the optic disc became pale.
