Abstract. A 45‐year‐old female with an elevated peripapillary subretinal neovascular membrane was treated with dye enhanced laser photocoagulation, using indocyanine green and the diode laser. Following treatment the membrane regressed, with flattening of the lesion. No side effects occurred and excellent visual acuity was maintained over a 12 month follow‐up period.
