The objective of the work was to evaluate the prevalence of Bergmeister papilla. We retrospectively analyzed fundus photographs of 7,856 patients (including 4,421 men and 3,435 women) who underwent health screenings at our hospital during a 1-year period. The overall prevalence of Bergmeister papilla was 0.802% (63/7,856). Of the 63 patients with Bergmeister papilla, 38 were men (38/4,421; 0.860%), and 25 were women (25/3,435; 0.728%). The Bergmeister papillae varied in form. Among the 63 patients, 51 had the papillae in one eye and 12 in both eyes. Among the patients who underwent health screenings, the prevalence of Bergmeister papilla was 0.802%. These results may aid in explaining clinically rare conditions.
