curley q rods

23 yr old white female went for annual eye exam.  During exam the dr. said her "rods were all squiggley and curley-q".
Dr. asked her to return in one week.  What do squiggley rods imply?

I have no clue what you are talking about.  Maybe you meant curly q looking retinal vessels which can be a normal variant of sometimes a sign of hypertension or vasculitis. Rods are cells in the retina that can only be seen in the laboratory under a microscope.
