Eight-year-old children with mild leopard eye mostly refers to leopard-like fundus, which may be caused by myopia, and similar manifestations can also occur in the elderly.
Leopard-shaped fundus is mostly due to the retinal pigment epithelium pigment less, through the retina and see the choroidal vascular structure and vascular interstitial pigment area, and caused by the shape of the leopard skin texture of the fundus manifestations, most commonly seen in the elderly and patients with high myopia. If the child has a high degree of myopia, it may appear as a leopard-like fundus.
Patients with high myopia often have changes in the fundus, such as a leopard-shaped fundus, because myopia causes the eye axis to elongate, the retina to be thinner, the small choroidal blood vessels to be atrophied, and the large choroidal blood vessels to be exposed, thus forming a leopard-shaped fundus.
It is recommended that children with abnormal fundus exams should seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment to slow down the progression of the disease.
