Anyone else have lipids in their retina? Last few times I noticed what looks like a round object, the doctor said it's a lipid.

Also known as drusen, which are fatty protein deposits/lipids. This might be what at your doctor was referring to. Check out this explanation:healthline.com/health/drusen

That explains it better than I can. All the best, Tedly
