Based on the HD OCT findings, we hypothesize that early changes in vitelliform macular dystrophy involve the layer between the RPE and the IS/OS interface, first with accumulation of material beneath the sensory retina, and then with disruption and attenuation of IS and OS; late changes seem to affect the RPE, which undergoes hypertrophy, disruption, and attenuation.
