Slit lamp examination revealed 2 + nuclear sclerosis (NS) and 2 + posterior subcapsular (PSC) cataract in the right eye and a well‐positioned posterior chamber IOL (PCIOL) in his left eye. Intraocular pressure was 18 mmHg in both eyes. On the fundus examination, the media were clear and the optic discs had normal appearance. Vertical cup‐to‐disc ratio was about 0.4 in both eyes. Figures 1‐4 show color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography (FA), and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography images of both eyes, respectively.
