A 58-year-old lady presented with bilateral blurred vision of gradual onset. OD was amblyopic; VA was 6/36 (OD) and 6/12 (OS). She was on Tamoxifen tablets (20 mg per day) for the last 2 years for breast carcinoma. Fundoscopy revealed few bilateral crystalline foveal deposits, suggestive of Tamoxifen maculopathy [Figure 1]a.[1] SD-OCT of OD showed a large foveal pseudocystic cavitation (no leak on FA) with ILM draping and adjacent cystic spaces [Figure 1]b.[2],[3] Tamoxifen tablets were discontinued, and on 12 months follow-up, there were no obvious foveal crystals[4] [Figure 1]c, and imaging showed a significant anatomical improvement [Figure 1]d. | Figure 1: Color fundus image (a) shows yellowish deposits from tamoxifen (white arrow). SD-OCT foveal B-scan (b) demonstrates a pseudocystic foveal cavitation. After Tamoxifen cessation (12 months), reversal of maculopathy (c) and an outer retinal defect on foveal B-scan (d) are noted
