Macular pucker and retinal angioma.
A 44-year-old white female had a macular pucker associated with a peripheral retinal capillary angioma. Following successful destruction of the angioma with cryotherapy, the macular pucker regressed and visual acuity returned to normal. This is the first report documenting the regression of a macular pucker following successful treatment of a peripheral retinal angioma.
