Megavilli and Landolt's clubs were reported in the interreceptor matrix of the retina of the goldfish and neonatal rat for the first time. Megavilli encroach onto the inner or outer segments of photoreceptors and were different from microvilli. Landolt's clubs were not present in the adult rat but only in the adult goldfish.
