A 20-year old presented with visual acuity 20/200 (both eye). Anterior segment findings and intraocular pressures were unremarkable. Fundus examination revealed bilateral retinal fold extending from disc to inferotemporal periphery, with retinal blood vessels on the fold [Figure 1]. Fovea was not discernible. Pigmentary change was noted along the fold, more toward periphery.

First described by Mann,[1] congenital retinal folds (CRF) extend temporally in 92.5%, have poor vision, and 75% are unilateral.[2],[3] 30% eyes may develop devastating posterior segment complications.[2],[3] Common causes of CRF are retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR), Norrie disease, etc.[1],[2],[3],[4] Early diagnosis and intervention are essential to preserve useful vision.[3],[4] Noncontact ultra-widefield retinal imaging (Optos) of bilateral CRF [Figure 1] has never been described in the scientific literature previously and may be useful in the follow-up of those eyes.
