Host: Barton Lynn Blackorby, MD Guest: Kyle Davis Kovacs, MD Guest: Matthew Starr, MD How aggressively should you manage a vitreous hemorrhage after a PVD when you can't see the retina underneath it? Barton Blackorby, MD, moderates a discussion with Matt Starr, MD, and Kyle Kovacs, MD, about a study published in Ophthalmology by Hasbolat et al examining 366 patients with PVD-related vitreous hemorrhage initially managed with observation. The panel discusses how exam technique and B-scan reliance may affect detachment detection rates, debates follow-up intervals given that most retinal detachments in the study occurred within the first 3 weeks, and shares their own thresholds for moving to early vitrectomy versus continued observation, including how they counsel patients eager for faster visual recovery.
