Abstract

ODD, characterized by calcified deposits in the optic nerve head, often goes unnoticed due to its asymptomatic nature, while RP, a progressive retinal disorder, leads to a gradual loss of peripheral vision and night blindness. Diagnosis necessitates a combination of fundus examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fundus autofluorescence. Here we present a case of a 23 year old male, with complaints of defective vision in both eyes since childhood associated with night vision impairment. His BCVA was 0.13 in both eyes. ODD can complicate RP by causing central vision impairment. Managing the psychosocial impact of this dual diagnosis is equally crucial. This abstract highlights the need for a comprehensive approach in understanding and addressing ODD and RP coexistence.
