If it shows retinal macular disease, we must go to the hospital as soon as possible to do a macular oct examination. We can also do fundus fluorescence imaging to see if there is macular exudation, cystoid edema, hole or ischemic disease. If this situation is shown, we must treat it as soon as possible.
