intravenous and oral acetazolamide, topical steroids, and mydriatics. Radiographical examination excluded any orbital fracture. Over the next 48 hours blood in the anterior chamber had cleared sufficiently to allow fundal views: there was vitreous haemorrhage in the left eye and bilateral commotio retinae. The visual acuity in the right eye returned to 6/5 within 72 hours, and re-examination showed no abnormality apart from residual traumatic mydriasis. Topical timolol was required to control persistently raised intraocular pressure in the left eye. After four weeks the visual acuity was still reduced at 6/18 with peripapillary subretinal haemorrhage, oedema at the posterior pole, and peripheral pigmentary retinal degeneration. CASE
