“…One of the significant finding is presence of atrophic macular scar (6.5%), the prevalence is comparable to internationally published study by Machado RAF et al which was 6.38%. 28 98% were healed associated with trauma in childhood and toxoplasmosis. Atrophic scars present in foveal region severely compromised central visual field and almost all patient with foveal scar having central visual field defects.…”
