Abstract

Subhyaloid hemorrhage is rarely seen in ophthalmological practice in young males. We managed one such case in our set-up. A young
male presented with sudden decreased vision. Fundus showed large collection of darkish red colored blood in subhyaloid space of the
posterior pole in front of the macula, typical of sub-hyaloid hemorrhage. Treatment includes, amongst others, Nd: YAG laser
hyaloidotomy. Prognosis, if treated on appropriate lines, is usually good. This case was being reported for general awareness.
Key-words: Nd: Yag laser hyaloidotomy, premacular sub-hyaloid haemorrhage
