Abstract
Lipaemia retinalis is a rarely described condition which occurs in cer tain types of both primary and secondary hyperlipidaemia. It presents with a striking fundal appearance. We report 7 cases of lipaemia retin alis and ocular manifestations in hyperlipidaemia which presented over a 12 year period to our hospitals. These illustrate the different pre sentations and stages of the disease, and other fundal abnormalities s een in hyperlipidaemia.
