Images at the first visit preoperatively. a Anterior segment photograph revealed absence of aqueous cells, keratic precipitates, conjunctival hyperemia, and posterior synechiae in the left eye. b Optos color photograph noted inferior macula-involving retinal detachment extending from 4:30 to 9:30 (white arrow) and a retinal hole without surrounding SRF at 1 o’clock (white circle). c B-scan ultrasonography revealed extensive retinal detachment. d UBM revealed a single small tear of the nonpigmented epithelium of the pars plana of the ciliary body at 7–8 o’clock (white triangle). e OCT observed the loss of POS and ellipsoid zone (blue star) in the detached macula, and some macular microcysts (blue arrow) in the inner and outer nuclear layers
