    Abstract:
    A 60-year-old woman with hypertension was seen for a routine examination. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 bilaterally. Intraretinal hemorrhages were found in the parafoveal region of the right eye. A fundus fluorescein angiography evaluation identified the hemorrhages as arterial macroaneurysms. The following day, the patient returned complaining of blurred vision that had developed the previous evening. Best-corrected visual acuity was counting fingers in the right eye. A subhyaloid hemorrhage approximately three optic disks in size was found in the macular region. The hemorrhage was drained with an Nd:YAG laser.
