Lipemia retinalis is a finding seen in patients with gross lipemia.
Clinical findings:
(1) On fundoscopy all of the retinal blood vessels appear white to light orange, and often the vessels are distended.
(2) A concurrent plasma sample is lipemic, with markedly elevated chylomicrons or other lipids.
(3) Therapy to correct the lipid disorder results in normalization of the appearance for the retinal blood vessels.
