 - Description
 - A 24-year-old young man presented with sudden loss of vision in left eye following history of rigorous coughing. Visual acuity in RE was 6/6, LE was 6/60p. Fundoscopy showed bilateral multiple small intraretinal hemorrhages with LE large premacular subhyaloid hemorrhage just covering the fovea suggestive of bilateral valsalva retinopathy changes. Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy was performed to left eye the same day (A250; 2mJ;6 SHOTS). Visual acuity improved to 6/9 immediately following the procedure. After 1 week, the subhyaloid hemorrhage had completely cleared with dispersed intragel hemorrhage in the inferior vitreous cavity with visual acuity of 6/6 in left eye
