OCT and OCTA imaging at the 1st day after trauma to the right eye. (a) OCT showed the subretinal fluid and damage at the RPE level, (b) OCTA displayed damage at the level of superficial and deep plexuses and choriocapillaris.

OCT displayed subretinal fluid, increased reflectivity, and disruption of the photoreceptor layer and RPE of the right eye (Fig. 1a). OCTA revealed damage to the outer layers of the retinae and choriocapillary plexus (Fig. 1b).
Left eye revealed normal findings.

The left eye images revealed normal findings (Fig. 2).
OCT and OCTA imaging at the 10th day after trauma to the right eye. (a) Foveal atrophy characterized by loss of outer retinal layers, interdigitating and ellipsoid zone disorganization, increased hyper-reflectivity; (b) Damaged choriocapillaris, enlargement of FAZ, and decrease in macular vessel density.

Disorganization of the ellipsoid zone was prominent, which merged with the interdigitation zone and the RPE (Fig. 3a). OCTA revealed that damage to the outer retinal plexus and choriocapillary persisted, and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) was enlarged (Fig. 3b).
OCT and OCTA imaging at the 6th month after trauma to the right eye. Damage to the superficial and deep plexuses and choriocapillaris persisted.

Six months after the injury, BCVA was stable at 0.1, and OCTA showed persisted damage at the outer retinal and choriocapillary levels, as well as enlargement of FAZ (Fig. 4).
OCT and OCTA imaging at the 1st year after trauma to the right eye. OCT revealed scar tissue with foveal atrophy, OCTA findings persisted.

OCT-A findings persisted (Fig. 5).
