Abstract:
Retinal hemorrhages represent a common phenomenon in eyes of high altitude climbers. In this review, we present an update about this entity, with focus on its pathophysiology and practical implications. Due to their delayed appearance in the course of an expedition, retinal hemorrhages are not predictive when assessing the risk for life-threatening complications related to hypobaric hypoxia. Consequences for ocular health depend greatly on the extent and localization of retinal bleedings, but are generally mild and reversible in healthy eyes.
