Özet
In cases with subhyaloid hemorrhage, spontan clearing usually occurs, but it may take several months. Tn this study, to accelerate the recovery of visual acuity, we performed Q-switched Nd:YAG laser posterior byaloidotomy in five cases (5 eyes) with subhyaloid hemorrhage via transcorneal route. In all cases, instantaneous drainage of hemorrhage into the vitreous resulted in a dramatic increase in visual acuity. No complication was noted. In the management of subhyaloid hemorrhage, Nd:YAG laser may provide an additional therapeutic option. In selected cases, visual rehabilitation can be achieved promptly without a surgical intervention with this procedure.
