Presentación de un caso clínico de un paciente de sexo masculino de 26 años, que acude por baja visual, tras ver accidentalmente una luz proyectada por un láser de espectáculos, y que presenta una hemorragia prerretiniana en el ojo izquierdo. La tomografía de coherencia óptica mostró la presencia de una hemorragia sublimitante interna. Se le realizó una vitrectomía pars plana con pelado de la limitante interna, y se produjo una rápida mejoría de la agudeza visual.
This is the case of a 26-year-old man that presented a visual acuity decrease after unintentionally looking at a light projected in a laser show. On examination, a premacular hemorrhage was observed in the left eye. Optical coherence tomography demonstrated the presence of a sub-inner limiting membrane hemorrhage. A pars plana vitrectomy was performed with internal limiting membrane peeling, followed by rapid visual acuity improvement.
