-Lattice degeneration is a common peripheral retinal degeneration that is characterized by localized retinal thinning, overlying vitreous liquefaction, and marginal vitreoretinal adhesion. The condition is associated with atrophic retinal holes, retinal tears, and retinal detachments. Lattice degeneration is a common condition that can be found in 6-8% of the general population though past histologic studies on autopsy suggest a prevalence as high as 10.7%
-White without pressure (WWOP) is a retinal phenomenon produced by vitreous traction on the surface of the retina. Because it is a superficial phenomenon, it will be more apparent on the green separation. It appears as a whitish degeneration (film) on the retina and typically there is a dark zone along the posterior border (often appears red on binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy which may give the appearance of a pseudo-retinal tear). It may have a rather scalloped posterior margin.
