Abstract
Lipemia retinalis is a condition where the retinal blood vessels appear salmon pink to creamy white in color. It typically happens in individuals with either primary or secondary hyperlipidemia. This distinct appearance is caused by the presence of circulating chylomicrons in the blood.A 56-year-old female presented with dense, yellowish hypopigmented patches on the upper eyelids of both eyes. She was a known case of hypertension and hyperlipidaemia on irregular medication. The examination revealed lipemia retinalis with creamy coloured vessels. The patient was started on lipid lowering drugs.
