Description: Left eye pseudocolor fundus image of a treatment naive proliferative diabetic retinopathy case, incidentally detected with a large subhyaloid hemorrhage during a routine ophthalmic examination. Peculiarly, the hemorrhage spared the foveal center, and the patient had 20/20 vision on presentation.
