There are many clinical and experimental studies related with the treatment methods and treatment timing of subretinal hemorrhage. Reported treatments include retinal pigment epithelial and choroid patch, macular translocation, pneumatic displacement, intravitreal or subretinal tissue plasminogen activator, intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs, and combinations thereof. The aim of our review is to discuss the recommended treatment methods in subretinal hemorrhage. Additionally, we summarized the treatment algorythm that we use in our clinic in patients with subretinal hemorrhage.
