title: Fluorescein angiography in reticular degeneration of the pigment epithelium.
abstract: We studied reticular degeneration of the pigment epithelium by fluorescein angiography in 32 eyes of 50 consecutive patients who had ophthalmoscopic indications of this aging-related entity. In this type of degeneration, fluorescein angiography delineated extensive abnormalities of the retinal pigment epithelium and demonstrated normal-appearing retinal vessels and choriocapillaries in the affected areas.
