A 26-year-old lady with a diagnosis of acute Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. The right eye shows sub-retinal fluid, thickened choroid, a thickened retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and an RPE vacuolation (white arrow in the white box inset at the top left corner) in the vertical optical coherence tomography scan (A). After the resolution of sub-retinal fluid, persistent deposits over RPE could be noticed (arrowhead) (B).
