Abstract

Preretinal hemorrhage, which is located between the retina and vitreous face and is commonly developed on the macula, causes impaired central vision and if it persists, it may cause complications, such as epimacular membrane. A 49-year-old male who had dry type of age-related macular degeneration in both eyes and had an oval shaped premacular hemorrhage of unknown etiology in his left eye. We applied Q-switched Nd:YAG laser on membrane anterior to preretinal hemorrhage and ruptured it. Preretinal hemorrage was drained to inferior vitreous cavity and his central vision was rapidly improved.
