Abstract

Purpose: Anemic retinopathy frequently presents with pre-macular hemorrhages, necessitating efficacious yet minimally invasive interventions. This study aims to compare the therapeutic efficacy of Nd:YAG laser posterior hyaloidotomy in managing this condition.
Methods: Twelve anemic patients with pre-macular hemorrhages underwent comprehensive ophthalmological evaluations, including advanced imaging techniques. Following stabilization, they underwent Nd:YAG Laser Posterior Hyaloidotomy with carefully calibrated parameters. Post-procedural outcomes were meticulously monitored through follow-up assessments on OCT.
Results: 11 out of 12 experienced notable improvements in visual acuity post-laser treatment, with no observed adverse effects.
Conclusion: Nd:YAG Laser Posterior Hyaloidotomy emerges as a safe and effective non-invasive therapeutic option for pre-macular sub-hyaloid hemorrhages in anemic retinopathy patients.
