Preoperative fundus findings of the patient. a Fundus photograph of the right eye shows inferior exudative retinal detachment with subretinal exudation (fibrin) inferior to the macula. b Fundus photograph of the left eye shows pigmentary changes at the posterior pole consistent with diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy. c Fluorescein angiography (late phase) of the right eye reveals an annular zone of small hyper and hypofluorescent areas corresponding to the mottled appearance of the RPE with pooling of dye in the subretinal space. Most of the hyperfluorescent areas being window defects with few increasing in size and intensity with time suggest active leaks. A small focal leaking area of hyperfluorescence is also seen inferonasal to the disc. d Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the right eye shows the neurosensory detachment at the fovea with some underlying hyperreflective material suggestive of fibrin and a pigment epithelial detachment (PED)
