Abstract:
Submacular hemorrhages pose a danger to visual acuity. Intervention may help prevent or mitigate severe visual loss. Pneumatic displacement and vitrectomy with direct evacuation are two methods of treating submacular hemorrhages. Tissue plasminogen activator may be an important adjunct to these techniques.
