Figure 1
(a) Stratus OCT during niacin treatment. Abnormal retinal profile with the presence of hyporeflective cystoid spaces in the outer plexiform and inner nuclear layers in both eyes. Central macular thickness (CMT) was 646 microns in RE and 578 microns in LE. (b) Stratus OCT four weeks after discontinuation of therapy. Normal retinal thickness with complete disappearance of the hyporeflective cystoid spaces. Central macular thickness (CMT) was 195 microns in RE and 194 microns in LE.
