Description
Summary:In light of her monocular status with only the right eye providing functional vision, intravitreal bevacizumab (2.5 mg in 0.1 mL; Genentech/Roche, San Francisco, California, USA) was offered off-label to the patient to prevent extension of hemorrhage into the macula. In the other patient (83 years old), a large macula-off inferotemporal hemorrhagic retinal detachment warranted drainage of the subretinal hemorrhage in a manner previously described.2 In addition, intravitreal bevacizumab (2.5 mg in 0.1 mL) was administered to prevent new subretinal hemorrhages.
