case_images: Fundoscopy showed some intraretinal hemorrhages in the left temporal macula with telangiectatic vessels and scattered microaneurysms (Fig. 1).
case_images: Fluorescein angiography demonstrating radiation retinopathy with microangiopathic findings of patchy capillaries, nonperfusion, and late leak in the left macula before laser treatment. An overlay (yellow-shaded area) showing the fluorescein-guided treatment area.

case_images: Fluorescein angiography revealed patchy capillaries, nonperfusion, and left late macular leak consistent with CME (Fig. 2).
case_images: OCT showing left CME (arrows) secondary to radiation retinopathy at baseline (a). Reduction of intraretinal edema 2 months after laser (b). Improvement of the macular edema at 10 months after micropulse laser therapy (c).

case_images: Optical coherence tomography (OCT; Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) showed left CME (Fig. 3a). Two months following treatment, subjectively the patient noted improved symptoms, BCVA had improved to 20/20 in the left eye and the OCT examination demonstrated reduced intraretinal edema (Fig. 3b). Ten months after the micropulse laser, BCVA had stabilized to 20/20 in the left eye and the OCT examination revealed absence of the previously found intraretinal edema (Fig. 3c).
