case_images: He was also diagnosed to have idiopathic intermediate uveitis with chronic cystoid macular edema (CME) [Figure 1a and b] as well as complicated cataract in OU and was advised to systemic steroids with immunosuppressives. Following treatment, there was resolution of CME [Figure 1c and d] with improvement in BCVA to 6/9 N6 in OD and 6/36 N10 in OS. OD, he reported a drop in visual acuity to 6/36 N12. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed the presence of a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) [Figure 1e] with maximum basal diameter of 887 mu and minimum diameter between edges of 419 mu. As seen at 6 weeks, OD BCVA was 6/18 on distant Snellen's visual acuity chart, N8 at 25 cm with OCT confirming a Type 1 macular hole closure [Figure 1f].
