    Apr 24 2018 by Pauline T Merrill, MD, FASRS

    Fundus photo of left eye of a 65-year-old AMD patient who presented with sudden drop of vision from 20/30 to CF due to a large submacular hemorrhage, 7 months following her last Eylea injection. She underwent immediate injection of C3F8 in the office, with little effect. 10 days later vitrectomy with subretinal tPA and air-fluid exchange was performed, with successful displacement of the hemorrhage.
