Examination revealed drusen in the right eye and large pigment epithelial detachment, pigment mottling, drusen, focal intraretinal hemorrhage and intraretinal fluid in the left macula. Optical coherence tomography of the macula showed the presence of drusen in the right eye and pigment epithelial detachment, intraretinal deposits, subretinal and intraretinal fluid in the left macula. On Optical coherence tomography angiography of the left eye macular neovascularization was noted in the deep retina.
