All eyes exhibited neovascular flow signal on OCTA images.

Nineteen eyes (95%) showed flat-irregular pigment epithelium detachment (flat irregular pigment epithelium detachment [FIPED]).

Subretinal fluid (SRF) was detected in 90% of patients with no intraretinal fluid.

Membranes were mostly located at the subfoveal area (65%).

She was diagnosed with macular detachment secondary to optic nerve head pit in her right eye and bilateral chorioretinal coloboma.

Seven patients received additional treatment based on the underlying condition.

Mean macular thickness on optical coherence tomography decreased from 394 +/- 116 microm to 254 +/- 52 microm (P < 0.01).

Mean visual acuity improved from 0.87 +/- 0.74 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution to 0.38 +/- 0.63 (P = 0.005).

Thirty-two eyes were treated previously with photodynamic therapy.

Snellen visual acuity improved from 20/150 to hand movements (mean logMAR 1.34 +/- 0.29) to 20/50 to counting fingers (mean logMar 1.2 +/- 0.42) (P = 0.003, paired t-test).

Visual acuity improved by> or =3 lines in 12 eyes (25%); showed no change in 9 eyes (19%); and deteriorated by > or =3 lines in 4 eyes (8.3%).

Mean central retinal thickness (measured in 22 eyes) decreased from 324 +/- 121 mum to 264 +/- 65 mum (P = 0.02, paired t-test).

The mean age was 63.1 years.

Patients received a mean of 3.48 treatments.

Mean VA improved in the younger group from 0.63 to 0.39 logMAR (P = .02, paired t test) and deteriorated in the older group from 0.71 to 0.99 logMAR (P = .03, paired t test).
