YAG laser membranotomy for sub-inner limiting membrane hemorrhage due to ruptured macroaneurysm
A 65-year-old hypertensive woman was monitored owing to a macular macroaneurysm in the right eye (OR). She reported partial sudden vision loss in the preceding 2 days. Her corrected visual acuity was <0.05 in the OR and 1.0 in the left eye. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy and fundoscopic examination of the OR revealed initial cataract and preretinal hemorrhage over the macular region, macroaneurysm near the upper temporal arch, and local hard exudates (Fig. 1A). The diagnostic hypothesis was the ruptured macular macroaneurysm, with optical coherence tomography indicating sub-inner limiting membrane (ILM) hemorrhage (Fig.Labyrinth opacification of intraocular lens
The image corresponds to an opacified intraocular lens composed of hydrophilic acrylic material, causing important impairment of visual function in the patient. There are many reports of opacified lens composed of different materials, but it seems to affect hydrophilic acrylic lenses in most cases.
