Sequelae from tolperisone induced subhyaloid haemorrhage. Top left: images from initial presentation a colour photograph of the left eye showing the presence of a large sub-hyaloid haemorrhage and multiple flame-shaped haemorrhages b SD-OCT of the left eye at presentation confirmed the presence and the location of the bleed in the sub-hyaloid (pre-retinal) space with no changes at the level of the inner or outer retinal layers. Top right: images 1 week after the original presentation c colour photograph and d SD-OCT of the left eye 1 week post presentation demonstrating the formation of a partially organized clot which is seen as an area of hyper-reflectivity in the sub-hyaloid space. Bottom left: images 6 weeks after the original presentation e colour photograph and f SD-OCT of the left eye 6 weeks post initial presentation demonstrating the formation of a fully organized clot which was observed as an area of increased hyper-reflectivity in the sub-hyaloid space. Bottom right: images from the final follow-up g colour photograph and h SD-OCT of the left eye 9 months after the original presentation that demonstrates complete resolution of the bleed. SD-OCT showed some thickening of the posterior hyaloid face after the resolution of the bleed (thick blue arrows)
