Figure 8. Active neovascularization in PDR.  Fibrovascular proliferation overlies the optic disc (white arrow).  Loops of new vessels are especially prominent superior to the disc and extending into the macula, where leakage of fluid has led to deposition of a ring of hard exudate around the neovascular net (black arrow).  (UCSF Department of Ophthalmology)
