67-year-old white male with 6 days of decreased vision and known history of choroidal hemangioma, who had received PDT years ago for symptomatic SRF, had recurrence of SRF. PDT was applied to the lesion and one month later there is less subfoveal SRF, and vision has increased to 20/50 from 20/150. Will follow up in a month. Pictured is an orange-red choroidal mass with margins that blend with the surrounding choroid.

67-year-old white male with 6 days of decreased vision and known history of choroidal hemangioma, who had received PDT years ago for symptomatic SRF, had recurrence of SRF. PDT was applied to the lesion and one month later there is less subfoveal SRF, and vision has increased to 20/50 from 20/150. One month later the OCT shows that SRF continues to decrease and vision has improved to 20/40.
