RETINAL BREAK

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 08/22/2022

This 50YO female presented with sudden vision loss and floaters in her left eye. Despite the presence of the vitreous hemorrhage, we were able to adequately visualize the causative break and surround it with cryotherapy (not pictured).

A week later, the vitreous hemorrhage increased, and vitrectomy was performed. At the time of surgery, the vitreoretinal traction on the causative tear and blood vessel was relieved. The retina was attached without other breaks. Vision improved to 20/20 five days postoperatively.
