Horizontal optical coherence tomography B-scans (OCT) showing progressive recovery from outer retina disruption due to foveal detachment associated with optic disc pit. a Pre-operative Time-domain OCT showing foveal detachment in 2005. Visual acuity was 20/100. b 6 months after surgery, reapplication of the edges of the foveal detachment but no outer retina was visible at the center of the retina. The visual acuity was 20/40. c, d On Time-domain OCT, 1 (c) and 3 years (d) after surgery, the area of outer retina disorganization decreased and the ellipsoid zone has returned to normal except at the very center. Visual acuity improved to 20/32 at both timepoints. e Spectral-domain OCT showing a focal alteration of the ellipsoid zone 5 years after surgery, and (f) OCT scan showing the perfect reconstitution of the outer retina with enhanced outer layer density and a visual acuity of 20/25, 10 years after surgery. The central retinal thickness is 245 μm. g Left eye is unremarkable on Time-domain OCT at baseline and on Spectral-domain OCT 10 years post surgery (h). The central retinal thickness is 275 μm
