This means that there is decreased retinal pigment near the fovea, which the very center of the retina. Our sharpest and best vision (reading, threading a needle) comes from the fovea. Juxtafoveal means that this atrophy is adjacent to the fovea. Depending on your age, it could be a sign of dry age-related degeneration. I would see a retina specialist for an evaluation. To try to prevent worsening, quit smoking if you are a smoker; protect your eyes from UV light; eat a healthy diet (fruits and vegetables, nuts and grains, low fat, fish, not a lot of processed foods); and take antioxidant vitamin supplements, lutein, and fish oil. Be sure to review your supplements with your primary doctor, to be sure there is no conflict with any prescription medicine.
