Your eye doctor can detect lattice degeneration with a dilated eye exam. may be combined with other degenerations (e.g. Findings: may span wide band in more than one retinal quadrant, most often in superotemporal quadrant. Patients will not experience any changes in vision as long as the lattice degeneration does not cause further retinal damage. Definition: small yellowish dots in the peripheral retina, appear white due to light reflection.
