Nd:YAG laser posterior hyaloidotomy in subhyaloid hemorrhage
Ophthalmic Surg.
1994 Jul.
Abstract
Subhyaloid hemorrhage is usually a benign condition that generally improves spontaneously and rarely causes visual loss. However, because subhyaloid hemorrhage may be associated with permanent macular changes before it spontaneously resolves, posterior Nd:YAG hyaloidotomy may be indicated in selected patients. We performed Q-switched Nd:YAG laser posterior hyaloidotomy via the transcorneal route in two cases of subhyaloid hemorrhage. The hemorrhage instantaneously drained into the vitreous cavity, resulting in a dramatic increase in visual acuity.
