Five months after the first surgery, OCT revealed good foveal contour with a small retinal dimple (yellow arrow) and a small defect of the outer segment of the photoreceptors (white arrow) in the temporal parafoveal area (a). Twelve months after the first surgery, he complained of a sudden onset of blurred vision with metamorphopsia, with OCT showing subfoveal fluid and a CNV lesion (b). After he received the first intravitreal injection of aflibercept (4 mg/0.1 mL) in his right eye, OCT showed total resolution of subretinal fluid with residual CNV lesions 8 weeks later (c). After the second injection, OCT demonstrated an even, flat retinal pigmented epithelium layer with residual subfoveal fluid 8 weeks later (d). After the third injection, OCT presented no more subfoveal fluid, with vision improvement to 16/20 8 weeks later (e)
