A 38-year-old African-American male, with neovascularization noted on routine imaging. The patient was asymptomatic, was not taking any medication, and was unaware of any systemic conditions. CLARUS widefield images provide high-resolution angiography with a 133-degree field of view, enabling detailed visualization anywhere in the retina. This is especially important in diseases such as sickle cell retinopathy where both the macula and the peripheral retina can be affected.
