Figure 1: A 38-year old male presented to our outdoor patient department with a history of sudden painless loss of vision in the right eye since one day after lifting a heavy suitcase off the ground. The rest of his history and systemic examination was unremarkable. His corrected distance visual acuity was counting fingers close to face in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Ocular examination was unremarkable except for the presence of a mound of subhyaloid hemorrhage, measuring approximately 3 disc diameters in the macular area in the right eye (A). Patient underwent laser membranectomy using the frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser. The settings used were as follows: Power: 450 mw. Duration: 100ms. Spot size: 100 microns. The most dependent area of the hemorrhage was chosen as the target site. Immediately upon successful rupture, a fundus photograph was taken (B). His visual acuity at final follow up was 20/20 in both eyes
