NIR series of regressing NVE. Baseline NIR a shows the presence of hyporeflective irregular dark vessels originating from the retinal venules in the temporal macula (box). With focal laser treatment, there is regression shown by reduced dark perfusion in the NIR (b, top; box). OCT through the lesion b, bottom, shows ILM breaching characteristic of NVE. Note the perfused vessels in contemporaneous color fundus photograph (c, box). With continuation of treatment, the NVE disappears in NIR d, top; box, although its structure, albeit smaller, is still identifiable on OCT (d, bottom). Corresponding fluorescein angiography e shows no leakage, confirming involution of the NVE (box)
