A 22-year-old healthy female patient presented with diminution of vision in her left eye since 2 years. Best corrected visual acuity was 6/6 in right eye and finger counting in left eye. Fundus examination revealed temporal optic disc pit in both the eyes [Figure 1]a and [Figure 1]b and chronic disc pit maculopathy in the left eye which was evident on autofluorescence [Figure 1]c and [Figure 1]d and optical coherence tomography [Figure 2]a and [Figure 2]b. The patient was advised left eye vitrectomy under guarded visual prognosis and regular follow-up for the right eye to rule out development of maculopathy. | Figure 1: Colour fundus photographs showing temporal disc pits in both the eyes (a and b). Fundus autofluorescence is normal in right eye (c) and shows large area of hyperautofluorescence suggesting chronic maculopathy (d)

| Discussion | |  |
Optic disc pit is a cavitary disc anomaly and is unilateral predominantly, though it can be bilateral in up to 10%–15% of the cases.[1] Not all eyes with optic disc pit develop maculopathy. The risk factors for developing maculopathy in these eyes are disc pits in temporal neuroretinal rim and larger pits.[2]
