Fuchs spot
text:
The Fuchs spot is a degeneration of the macula in cases of high myopia. It is named after the two persons who first described it: Ernst Fuchs, who described a pigmented lesion in 1901, and Forster, who described subretinal neovascularization in 1862. It occurs due to proliferation of retinal pigment epithelium associated with choroidal hemorrhage. The size of the spots are proportionate to the severity of the pathological myopia.
