Popis: Herein we report a case of bilateral Valsalva retinopathy in a young woman following plastic surgery. Vision suddenly decreased to counting fingers in both eyes. The right eye (OD) underwent 25G three-port pars plana vitrectomy, and a good postoperative result was achieved (20/20). The left eye (OS) did not undergo surgery and was observed for 6 months; it showed the development of an epiretinal membrane with 20/40 vision. Such a result may suggest that early intervention may be indicated in cases of large hemorrhage over the macula.
