ANGIOID streaks are thought to be due to breaks in the elastic lamina of Bruch's membrane. Ophthalmoscopically they present a jagged peripapillary ring which may be incomplete and from which radiate irregular spokes of width similar to retinal vessels. With time, they may progress, or become less distinct. Their colour varies from reddish-brown to dark brown according to the density of the over...

The condition is frequently associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum, with cardiovascular disease, and with Paget's disease of bone. A simi...
متن کاملAngioid streaks of the retina.
A table of the optical power of obliquely crossed cylinders, and the implications of oblique cylinder ideas for retinoscopy with cylinders are presented. The basis of streak-retinoscopy is a band-like retinal image of the immediate source of light, which can be rotated in the principal meridians of astigmatism. Similarities exist between cylinder-retinoscopy and streak-retinoscopy as regards as...
