PURPOSE: We demonstrate foveal hypoplasia by optical coherence tomography (OCT). DESIGN: Observational case report. METHODS: Foveal hypoplasia was demonstrated in a 79-year-old man with decreased vision since childhood using fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and OCT scans through four meridians of the central foveal. RESULTS: The OCT showed extension of all neurosensory retinal layers through the area in which the fovea would normally be located. CONCLUSION: Optical coherence tomography can be used to demonstrate foveal hypoplasia.
