A 30-year-old male patient with laser-delimited rhegmatogenous retinal detachment 6 years ago was found to have the detachment resolved with 3 watermark lines (arrows) [Figure 1].[1] We hypothesize the watermarks to be timeline markers of resolving rather than progressing detachment, the reasons being the following: first, progressive inverse relations of anteroposterior to lateral dimensions of successive watermark arcs; second, non-concentricity of watermarks to each other and laser barrage margin of original detachment, both being re-enforced by the fact that subject would have maintained an erect posture most of the time that helped inferior detachment to auto-settle with fluid level “flattening” out. | Figure 1: Ultrawide image showing laser photocoagulation delimitation scars in the inferotemporal retina. Demarcation lines have been marked with arrows. A lattice with a hole is seen in the periphery
