Slide Content

Rings, Lines, Dots, Spots and other things in Ophthalmology Dr. Riyad Banayot

What do you see? Arcus Senilis Corneal grey ring-shaped degeneration made of lipids There are no symptoms, and doesn’t cause blurring of vision so it doesn’t need any treatments seen in old age patients

What do you see? Corneal rust ring A small, reddish-brown, circular Opacity in the Cornea after the metalic foreign body sticks in cornea.

What do you see? Coats’ White Ring Fine iron deposits in the bowman’s layer remaining after a corneal foreign body

What do you see? Hoarfrost ring Pseudoexfoliation (Whitish-gray protein) deposits on the anterior lens capsule.

What do you see? Zentmayer ring (Scheie stripe) A circle of pigment seen on the posterior lens capsule at the insertion of the lens zonule

What do you see? Double Ring Sign IN optic nerve hypoplasia, optic disc is often pale or gray and smaller than normal. Optic discs often present with double ring sign yellow to white ring around the disc. The white arrow indicates the optic nerve. The black arrow indicates the double-ring sign.

What do you see? Bitot’s Spots A buildup of keratin located superficially in the conjunctiva. they are oval, triangular or irregular in shape. Seen in Vitamin A deficiency

What do you see? Golden ring Seen within the lens is evidence of a good, successful hydro delineation during cataract surgery.

What do you see? Brushfield Spots Whitish grey spot in peripheral iris due to aggregation of connective tissue These spots are normal in children ( Kunkmann -Wolffian bodies), but are also a feature of Down syndrome

What do you see? Gunn's dots tiny white dots sometimes visible overlying the large vessels near the optic nerve or the nerve fiber layers. no pathologic significance.

What do you see? Cattle truck ( boxcarring ) appearance The blood column appears segmented or "box-like" due to slow, sluggish blood flow. 

What do you see? Roth spots Hemorrhages with white or pale centers they can be composed of coagulated fibrin including platelets, focal ischemia, inflammatory infiltrate, infectious organisms, or neoplastic cells Seen in subacute bacterial endocarditis, leukemia, and anemia

What do you see? Elschnig spot Black spots surrounded by bright yellow or red halos seen on the retina Due to changes in the retinal pigment epithelium from non-perfused areas of the choriocapillaris in hypertension.

What do you see? Fischer- Khunt spot Senile scleral plaque, bilateral oval, dark-greyish areas located close to the insertion of the horizontal rectus muscles Seen in old age

What do you see? Vossius ring Iris pigment on anterior lens capsule Seen in blunt trauma to the eye

What do you see? Weiss ring Ring-shaped floater Seen in posterior vitreous detachment (PVD)

What do you see? Soemmering’s ring Posterior lens capsule opacification. I ncomplete ring of milky white material Seen in traumatic cataract

What do you see? Stocker’s line Iron deposition in a line in corneal epithelium Seen in pterygium

What do you see? Ferry’s line Corneal epithelial iron line at the edge of filtering blebs

What do you see? Fingerprint lines / map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy Asymptomatic

What do you see? Hudson-Stahli’s line I ron deposition  line in the corneal epithelium, Seen in the junction between the middle and lower third of the cornea. 

What do you see? Krukenberg’s spindle A pattern formed on the inner surface of the cornea by pigmented iris cells that are deposited as a result of the currents of the aqueous humor Shedding occurs during the mechanical rubbing of the posterior pigment layer of the iris with the zonules Associated with “classic” or primary pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) and pigmentary glaucoma.

What do you see? Kayser-Fleischer rings Copper deposition in Descemet membrane Seen in Wilson disease

What do you see? Paton’s line Circumferential retinal fold Seen in papilledema

What do you see? Ring scotoma in retinitis pigmentosa

What do you see? Fleischer rings Iron deposition around the base of a cone Seen in Keratoconus

What do you see? Horner- Trantas dots / spots F ocal white limbal dots consisting of degenerated epithelial cells and eosinophils on top of nodules Seen in Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis

What do you see? Mittendorf’s dots A small circular opacity on the posterior lens capsule. Embryological remnant of the hyaloid artery

What do you see? Kaye’s dots W hite punctate epithelial opacities located in the epithelium anterior to the suture line of a corneal graft R epresent epithelial cells in various stages of degeneration NOT visually significant and do not bear any clinical significance.

What do you se? Arlt’s line H orizontal, linear scar in conjunctiva Seen in Trachoma

What do you see? Herbert’s pits Acute trachoma is characterized by a follicular conjunctivitis. Follicles may also appear at the limbus Healed follicles form the pathognomonic cicatrial scars

What do you see? Vogt’s striae / line Whitish lines in the stroma and Descemet's membrane of the cornea Seen in Keratoconus

What do you see? White lines of Vogt Sheathed or sclerosed vessels seen in Lattice degeneration of the retina. Lattice degeneration of the retina is characterized by the presence of lattice lines created by fibrosed blood vessels.

What do you see? Wessley ring Sterile, corneal intrastromal reactions resulting from an immune response to foreign antigens

What do you see? Khodadoust line Also known as an endothelial rejection line A line of inflammatory precipitates on the endothelial surface. Starting at the periphery and progressing towards the center.  A medical sign indicating corneal graft rejection

Yellow spot = Macula Lutea Yellow spot = Macula Lutea Located in the center of the retina and responsible for sharp, detailed vision, including color vision and fine details.  The yellow color is due to the presence of high levels of the carotenoid pigments lutein and zeaxanthin

What do you see? Blind spot = optic disc A normal area in the visual field where the optic nerve exits the eye, lacking light-sensitive cells and resulting in a lack of vision at that specific point.
