IOTM: Imaging Through A Subretinal Macular Hemorrhage with Topcon SS-OCT
Image of the Month (IOTM) is a collection of interesting clinical cases with high quality images for all relevant imaging modalities (ex: color fundus, OCT, OCTA, FAF, FA, En Face, Red-free, choroidal vasculography (CVG), anterior imaging) and other clinical results if relevant (ex: visual field plots). Each case is submitted by an eye care professional using one of Topcon’s industry-leading OCT devices.
Case background
64 year-old female presented with acute vision loss in her right eye.
Diagnosis: Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration
