Lack of a foveal pit is a well-known finding in conditions such as oculocutaneous albinism and PAX6 gene-related aniridia. Isolated fovea plana is less common, and this case illustrates that the absence of a foveal pit does not necessarily result in a poor visual outcome. The finding of asymmetry in the mfERG in such a case is novel, and may indicate a functional adaptation to the structure of the fovea.
