Abstract
Three male and a female patient with acute visual loss due to premacular subhyaloid haemorrhage was treated with Nd:YAG laser posterior hyaloidotomy. Their etiologies, visual acuities, fundus photographs and complications were analysized. The etiologies of subhyaloid haemorrhage were valsalva retinopathy (in two cases), direct head trauma and retinal artery macroaneurysm, respectively. Visual acuity increased in all cases after the treatment. We did not observe any complications due to the laser application in the follow up period. Nd:YAG laser posterior hyaloidotomy is an easy, safe, effective and low cost procedure in comparison with the invasive surgical procedures in the treatment of premacular subhyaloid haemorrhages. It is considered to be a good alternative teratment to the vitreoretinal surgery.
