    Description
    A 23 year-old male with a history of direct exposure to sunlight on several occasions, presenting blurred vision, comes for evaluation due to metamorphopsias of 3 months' evolution. The fundus photograph shows the presence of an epiretinal membrane. The OCT shows a hyperreflective line at the vitreomacular interface that causes traction to the layers of the inner retina, as well as distortion in the architecture of the macular region, with the presence of subfoveal detachment of the RPE.
