Ultra-widefield fundus photograph showing hypotony maculopathy, characterized by prominent chorioretinal folds radiating through the posterior pole, vascular tortuosity, and a distorted macular contour. The image highlights the characteristic undulating retinal appearance associated with low intraocular pressure.

Ultra-widefield fundus autofluorescence image showing extensive linear hypo- and hyperautofluorescent striae radiating from the posterior pole, corresponding to chorioretinal folds in hypotony maculopathy. FAF highlights the widespread impact of ocular hypotony on the retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal architecture.

Spectral-domain OCT demonstrating pronounced retinal and choroidal folds with marked undulation of the posterior pole architecture, a characteristic finding in hypotony maculopathy. The exaggerated contour changes reflect biomechanical deformation of the ocular coats secondary to chronic low intraocular pressure.
