SURGICAL OUTCOMES AFTER MASSIVE SUBRETINAL HEMORRHAGE SECONDARY TO AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION

Abstract

Massive SRH related to age-related macular degeneration has a grave prognosis. Risk factors may include anticoagulation and coagulopathy. Limitations of the study include its retrospective nature, small sample size, imprecision in acuity measurements below 20/400, and lack of a control group. In this series, surgical intervention was associated with a modest improvement in median visual acuity up to 1 year postoperatively.
