Sub-retinal hyper-reflective material (SHRM) is an important spectral-domain optical coherence tomography biomarker in neo-vascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The exact nature of SHRM is not known, but it may contain fluid, fibrin, blood, neo-vascular tissue, and so on. Although nAMD with avascular SHRM usually resolves with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor and is known to have better visual prognosis, those with vascular SHRM have significantly poor final vision. We present a unique case of nAMD with an avascular SHRM in the right eye and a vascular SHRM in the left eye and how the two eyes behaved with treatment over a period of 12 months.
