Introduction

Subhyaloid haemorrhage (SHH) defined as collection of blood between the posterior hyaloid (vitreous) and retina occurs with many conditions including valsalva retinopathy. Valsalva retinopathy is caused by valsalva manoeuvres causing sudden increase in intraocular venous pressure and intraocular bleeding. It resolves spontaneously1 and laser is rarely needed.2 This case describes the clinical features and treatment of this entity for non-ophthalmologists.
