Uz. Dr. Ümraniye Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesi, Göz Hastalıkları Kliniği, İstanbul - TÜRKİYE Twenty-one years old healthy female admitted with sudden loss of vision in the right eye after sneezing. Best corrected visual acuity was counting fingers at 1 meter. Dilated fundus examination of the right eye revealed a large preretinal hemorrage encompassing the fovea and inferior macula. On the second day of her presentation the patient underwent argon laser hyaloidotomy for drainage of subhyaloid hemorrhage. The day after treatment the vision was 0.7 in the right eye and improved to 1.0 six days later without any complication. Premacular subhyaloid hemorrage can be treated by argon laser safely and optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a useful method for monitoring internal limitting membrane (ILM) and retina.
