Case Review: Vitreous Hemorrhage Secondary to Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

Ogul Uner, MD; Aristomenis Thanos, MD

Ogul Uner, MD, invites Aristomenis “Aris” Thanos, MD, to review a case of vitreous hemorrhage in a 62-year-old man who presented with sudden painless vision loss and floaters in his right eye. The patient denied any past trauma, had a history of type 2 diabetes and hypertension, and was taking apixaban (Eliquis, Bristol Myers Squibb/Pfizer) for atrial fibrillation. Visual acuity was counting fingers in the affected right eye, there was no relative afferent pupillary defect, and the anterior segment was unremarkable. Dr. Thanos discusses causes of vitreous hemorrhage along with common risk factors and comorbidities. He breaks down acute versus long-term treatment considerations, when to send a patient to surgery, and strategies for at-home care. (There are no financial disclosures.)
