Abstract | INTRODUCTION: PURPOSE: To determine the frequency of retinal abnormalities in NF2 patients. METHODS: We prospectively examined 15 consecutive patients who met the diagnostic criteria of NF2. RESULTS: We observed an epiretinal membrane in the macular or paramacular area in 12 of 15 patients, and a combined pigment epithelial and retinal hamartoma in the macula of one patient who also had an epiretinal membrane in the macula of the other eye. Additionally, 11 patients had central posterior cortical, subcapsular, or peripheral cortical lens opacities. CONCLUSIONS:
