What is "lacing" in a retina image?

I went to get a new contact perscription today and they took a retina scan. When I went back and talked to my doctor, she compared a previous retina scan of mine (from about 2016) to the one I just took and pointed out what she described as "lacing" had appeared. They were small, blackish lines near the edge of the image, close to my eye lashes, that I guess you could describe as lacing. I asked her what they were, but she didn't do a very good job explaining. She did say it wasn't anything to worry about and she mentioned my astigmatism briefly, but still kind of want to know what it is, what might have caused it, and if it will go away.

Thanks!
