Presentación de un caso clínico de un paciente de sexo masculino de 26 años, que acude por baja visual, tras ver accidentalmente una luz proyectada por un láser de espectáculos, y que presenta una hemorragia prerretiniana en el ojo izquierdo. La tomografía de coherencia óptica mostró la presencia de una hemorragia sublimitante interna. Se le realizó una vitrectomía pars plana con pelado de la limitante interna, y se produjo una rápida mejoría de la agudeza visual.
