(FIGURE 1) CME in an eye with pars planitis and decreased vision. The patient was referred for cataract surgery, but treatment of the CME resulted in improvement of vision to 20/20. Note the preservation of the foveal contour despite the cysts, this type of CME may be hard to see clinically, and OCT is helpful.
