The authors propose an office-based, cost-effective, minimally invasive, sutureless technique for treating SOFP with local anesthesia in a safe and effective manner. The lack of complications or recurrence with an adequate follow-up period following this technique is encouraging. Surgeons should consider this technique in the surgical correction of SOFP.

Purpose: We describe the unusual clinical presentation of a 33-year-old woman subsequently identified as a carrier of RP2-associated X-linked retinitis pigmentosa.Methods: Case report.Results: A 33-year-old woman without a known family history of retinal disease presented with unilateral reduced visual acuity and central scotoma in the left eye. Examination showed underlying macular atrophy in the left eye and a bilateral tapetal-like reflex. Full-field electroretinogram was abnormal in the left eye but normal in the right eye. Notable findings on wide-field imaging included bilateral peripheral vascular leakage on fluorescein angiography and a bilaterally symmetric radial pattern of hyperfluorescence on fundus autofluorescence. Genetic testing demonstrated a pathogenic variant in the gene RP2 confirming that she was a carrier of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa. Conclusion:We describe clinical features of the carrier state of RP2-XLRP and expand potential findings to include peripheral vascular leakage. This case highlights the importance of awareness of the carrier state, particularly if a family history cannot be provided.
