LASER HYALOIDOTOMY FOR SUB-HYALOID HAEMORRHAGE

Abstract

collection of blood between the internal limiting membrane of
the retina and the posterior hyaloid phase. Sub-hyaloid
hemorrhage in the macula normally resolves over a period of
3 months ,which compromises vision. This hemorrhage when
dislodged with the help of laser gets absorbed faster than
when left alone. We present three patients who had pre
macular sub- hyaloid hemorrhage following extensive physical
exertion. The hemorhage was effectively managed by semiconductor
dye laser 532nm hyaloidotomy, following which
there was a drastic improvement in vision.
