This healthy 24YO male presented with several days of floaters in his left eye. Vision was 20/20 OU.

Pseudocolor SLO imaging shows a superotemporal giant retinal tear (extending over 3 clock hours) and detachment. The anterior portion of the tear has multiple jagged edges, and the posterior flap has folded over onto itself. The macula is attached. The detachment was repaired with emergent pars plana vitrectomy.
