ABSTRACT:

Ocular issues are a common reason to present to the emergency department (ED). This case discusses a patient who presented to the ED with unilateral atraumatic partial vision loss. The patient underwent a point of care ultrasound that was concerning for a vitreous hemorrhage. Although vitreous hemorrhages require urgent, rather than emergent evaluation, it is important to differentiate this diagnosis from vitreous and retinal detachment.
