Lipemia retinalis is an unusual ocular finding associated with hypertriglyceridemia. We report the case of an infant treated for retinopathy of prematurity who later developed lipemia retinalis, with triglyceride levels of 4736 mg/dl. There was a paradoxical worsening of hypertriglyceridemia with the use of medium chain triglyceride supplement. On discontinuing the supplement, the triglycerides level drastically dropped, and retinal vasculature returned to a normal hue.
