Title: Vision loss with bending over. Author: Lee MD, Odel JG, Rudich DS, Ritch R, Moster ML. Journal: Surv Ophthalmol; 2015; 60(1):78-81. PubMed ID: 25109655. Abstract: A 66-year-old African American man presented with episodic transient visual loss triggered by bending forward. The initial examination did not suggest intraocular pathology and the patient was nearly sent for vascular evaluation given his cardiovascular risk factors. Fundus photographs taken during an episode of visual loss suggested an intraocular process, however. Gonioscopy revealed a microhyphema causing a "snow globe" effect in the anterior chamber, most likely related to recent bleb manipulation in the affected eye.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
