  • Title: Nd:YAG laser treatment for Valsalva premacular hemorrhage.
    Author: Zhang P, Wang H, Zhang F, Hu D, Wang Y.
    Journal: Eye Sci; 2013 Dec; 28(4):208-10. PubMed ID: 24961095.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report a case of Valsalva premacular hemorrhage treated by Nd:YAG laser. METHODS: A patient who presented with Valsalva premacular hemorrhage was treated with photodisruptive Nd:YAG laser to drain the entrapped premacular blood into the vitreous. RESULTS: After photodisruption, vision in the affected eye improved rapidly due to exposure of the macula. CONCLUSION: Nd:YAG laser treatment may be a good alternative for recent preretinal hemorrhages. Clinical benefits include rapid visual rehabilitation and the avoidance of vitrectomy.
