A subhyaloid hemorrhage is an intraocular collection of blood that remains contained in a self- created, previously non –existent space, usually between the posterior limiting layer of the vitreous and the retina. It is a rare, potentially vision threatening condition.
Method: We present a case series of 4 patients of different age groups and associated medical conditions. The patients were treated by different modalities depending on the judgement of the treating surgeon. Two patients were treated with a double frequency Nd:YAG laser and two were treated with TPP vitrectomy.
Result: The final outcome of three patients was found to be satisfactory but one patient did not attain complete visual acuity.
Conclusion : A double frequency Nd:YAG laser hyaloidtomy is an effective procedure for the treatment of recent subhyloid hemorrhage; surgery may also be tried in select cases.
