Abstract
Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS), a disease of unknown origin that occurs mostly in young women, was first described in 1984 by Jampol et al1 and Sieving et al.2 Patients with MEWDS typically develop an enlarged Marriott scotoma and decreased visual acuity but most recover fully in 1 to 2 months.Keywords
