Originally posted on @retina.rocks 03/27/2024

This 46YO female with type 2 diabetes presented with recent bilateral vision loss. Vision was 20/200 OD and hand motion OS.

Optos color RGB imaging of her left eye shows a combined tractional-rhegmatogenous total retinal detachment with fibrovascular tissue encircling the macula. Temporally radial outer retinal folds are dragged toward the more succulent, red neovascularization. A retinal tear is noted temporally.
Vitrectomy surgery was scheduled.

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy with disc and peripheral neovascularization was noted in her right eye (not shown). Panretinal photocoagulation was performed in her left eye and surgery was scheduled for her left eye.
