A 52-year-old man presented with decreased vision in his right eye from 1 month ago. He had no history of systemic disorders or drug consumption. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1/10 in his right eye and 10/10 in the left eye at presentation. Anterior segment examination and intraocular pressure were within normal limits. Based on fundus examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Figures 1 and 2) and fluorescein angiography (FA) findings (Figures 3 and 4), he received 1.25 mg intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) in his right eye. After 6 weeks, he was not satisfied with the result and no improvement in BCVA was noted. OCT images (Figures 5 and 6), FA and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA, Figures 7 and 8) taken 6 weeks after injection are presented. ● What are the differential diagnoses? ● What do you suggest for the management of this patient?
