Fundus photograph and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images obtained at the patient's initial visit. a, b Retinal hemorrhage and numerous soft exudates were observed in the wide range of the fundus, thus showing the stage of preproliferative diabetic retinopathy. c, d The OCT images reveal advanced cystoid macular edema and radial chorioretinal folds in the fovea.

Retinal hemorrhage and numerous soft exudates were observed in the wide range of the fundus, thus showing the stage of preproliferative diabetic retinopathy (Fig. 1a, b). Examination by optical coherence tomography revealed diffuse macular edema and advanced cystoid macular edema in the fovea (Fig. 1c, d).
Fundus photograph and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images obtained at the patient's follow-up visit 1.5 years after vitreous surgery. a, b In both eyes, retinal hemorrhage and soft exudates were slightly decreased. c, d The OCT images revealed improvement of the macular edema and chorioretinal folds, though not complete.
