- An 80-year-old male, with a history of hypertension and high cholesterol, complained of acute and painless vision loss in his left eye (OS) in the previous 5 months. On observation best corrected visual acuity in OS was hand motion. A dense vitreous opacity in OS precluded fundus examination. Ocular ultrasound revealed vitreous hemorrhage and thickening of the macular area. The patient was submitted to pars plana vitrectomy, which disclosed a large submacular hemorrhage with chronical features and disciform scarring in the setting of neovascular AMD.
