Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome (MEWDS) Associated with Progression of Lacquer Cracks in High Myopia.

We present a case of MEWDS co-occurring with acute progression of lacquer cracks. This adds to the increasing evidence that impaired integrity of the retinal pigment epithelium-Bruch's membrane complex may be a factor in causing MEWDS, possibly by exposing otherwise isolated antigens. The anatomy in a highly myopic eye may make it challenging to diagnose MEWDS-associated fundus changes.
