Treating Retinal Bleeds during Pregnancy

Macular hemorrhages due to choroidal neovascularization can result in sudden and permanent blindness.

In a recent publication, we treated four pregnant women where a bleed had blinded them in their only good eye. All women had restoration of vision with normal pregnancy and delivery.
