  Fig. 1 Fundus photograph of the right eye showed drusenoid deposit and macular pucker (A). Fundus fluorescein angiography revealed multiple hyperfluorescent lesions around the epiretinal membrane (ERM) (B). Optical coherence tomography showed ERM with macular edema in the right eye (C,D). Postoperative fundus photograph revealed satisfactory ERM removal (E). Fluorescein angiography showed leakage superotemporal to the fovea in the early phase (F), and optical coherence tomography revealed extrafoveal choroidal neovascularization combined with subretinal fluid (G,H). After several intravitreal aflibercept injections, choroidal neovascularization regressed and no subretinal fluid was observed (I-L).
