Description

This is a different view of the previous case taken with scleral indentation. There is a very large outer layer hole on the left side of the photograph with prominent yellow rolled posterior borders and a small yellow nubbin in the middle, which is probably the remnant of a former bridge between two smaller holes. This case has not been treated and has not progressed during four year’s observation. In fact, it has gotten measurably smaller in extent.
