High-Yield Explanation
Soft Exudates (SE) - aka "Cotton Wool Spots" - these lesions appear as white, feathery, fluffy or "cottony" spots. SE's physically represent infarcts, or closures of capillaries, within the retina; however the physical locations of these lesions are in the very exterior layer of theretina (in the nerve fiber layer).
