- Description
- This 55-year-old woman had had a cataract extraction five years earlier and also cryotherapy of some but not all of her lattice lesions. She was found to have this large retinal flap in the periphery near an area where cryotherapy had been applied. The next slide pair shows a different view of this lesion.
