Description

Ultra-widefield fundus photograph of a 43-year-old male with a Retinal Detachment with Giant Retinal Tear affecting his left eye. Patient presented to the office with count fingers vision at 2 feet. He stated that about 8-9 days ago, he developed a clear curtain/veil and his vision started to get blurry. He also noted that he had floaters and flashes for about 8-9 days as well. The patient had cataract surgery a month prior to his visit. He stated that since his surgery, his vision had been better, but he had an area where he was not able to see well. The physician recommended a complex retinal detachment repair.
