Abstract |
Severe, seemingly permanent intraocular hemorrhages caused by ocular trauma, Eales' disease and retinal vein thrombosis, lead to late formation of a dense retrolental membrane, vitreous liquefaction and intumescent cataract with faulty light perception. In the absence of ultrasound, the diagnosis was made possible only after removal of the cataract. Lens extraction and excision of the vitreal membrane led to surprisingly good recovery of vision. Three cases are presented and the pathological study of a posthemorrhagic membrane.
