Fig. 1. At the initial visit, macular edema and serous detachment on both eyes were observed by fundus photo (A, right eye [OD]; B, left eye [OS]) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (C, OD; D, OS). On fluorescence angiography, fluorescein dye pooling on the macula and multiple leakages were observed in both eyes (E, OD; F, OS). At 4 weeks after the initial visit, macular edema and serous detachment were much improved on fundus photo (G, OD; H, OS) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (I, OD; J, OS).
