Abstract

A 38-year-old pathologist developed multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS). He documented his visual impairment in detail utilizing a light microscope for pathological diagnosis. Notably, the subjective defects illustrated by the patient were in good spatiotemporal agreement with diagnostic outcomes. The present report enhances the understanding of visual impairment associated with MEWDS through a comparative analysis of subjective experiences and objective clinical findings.
