Multimodal imaging of the fundus of the right eye 11 days after a retinal injury from a handheld Q-switched Nd:YAG laser pulse device. (A) Color fundus photograph of the right eye shows retinal and vitreous hemorrhage in the region of the photoablative, thermal injury to the central macula. Image quality is constrained by the ocular media. (B) Infrared reflectance image overlaid with the en face spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging scan area illustrating retinal thickness topography (highlighted in colored area). The green arrow shows the position of the scan line used to generate the cross-sectional OCT image of the retina. (C) SD-OCT cross-sectional retinal image reveals a full-thickness disruption of the retinal laminae, with a subfoveal hyperreflective lesion extending into the subretinal space (temporal to nasal: T → N). Preretinal and vitreous hemorrhage create noticeable shadows that limit scan quality
