- Description
- The telangiectasis occurs unilaterally in the temporal half of the macula in an area of 1–2 disc diameters. OCT originally showed significant macular edema temporally, mostly in the inner retina. He underwent a series of antiVEGF injections, as well as focal laser. The macular edema resolved and the visual acuity improved from 20/200 to 20/20.
