Optic Pit Maculopathy Managed With Observation: Serial Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging of Fluctuating Macular Fluid.

Abstract

Observation with optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a reasonable management approach for optic pit maculopathy presenting with macular fluid. We describe two patients with optic pit maculopathy who exhibited preserved vision and fluctuating macular fluid managed with serial OCTs. A 49-year-old woman presented with blurred vision in the left eye. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/40 in the left eye. Examination revealed an inferotemporal gray depression in the optic disc; OCT demonstrated submacular fluid. Serial OCTs over 19 years showed fluctuating fluid with stable vision. BCVA was 20/30 at last follow-up. A 62-year-old man presented with a central scotoma in the left eye. BCVA was 20/40 in the left eye. Examination showed an inferotemporal gray-white depression in the optic disc, and OCT revealed submacular fluid. Serial OCTs over 6 years demonstrated fluctuating fluid with preserved vision. BCVA was 20/50 at last follow-up. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina 2025;55:XX-XX.].
