title: Intravitreal tissue plasminogen activator in submacular haemorrhage.
abstract: Submacular haemorrhage is a major cause of sudden visual loss in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). If left untreated it often results in permanent central visual loss. We present our experience in the use of intravitreal tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in a 65-year-old male with submacular haemorrhage.
