Examination
Uncorrected visual acuity was 20/40 in the right eye and 20/200 in the left eye, without improvement on pinhole testing. Intraocular pressure by applanation tonometry was 16 mm Hg in the right and 17 mm Hg in the left eye. There was no afferent pupillary defect. Anterior segment examination showed 2+ cell and 1+ flare in both eyes. Fundus examination showed 1+ vitreous cells in both eyes, with choroidal folds more prominent in the left eye, subretinal fluid in both eyes, and an inferior exudative detachment in the left eye (Figure 1).
