MEWDS is a rare, self-limiting inflammatory condition that predominantly affects young, healthy women, often following a viral illness. Patients typically notice sudden vision changes in one eye, including a shimmering or sparkling visual disturbance, blind spots, and increased light sensitivity. The characteristic white dots at the level of the outer retina and RPE are transient and typically resolve within weeks, with most patients experiencing full visual recovery.
