Background- vitreous haemorrhage is a complication of many ocular pathologies. Its incidence, etiology and burden varies among different parts of our country. Aim- the objective of this study is to find out the etiological factors of vitreous haemorrhage in a tertiary care centre of North India. Materials and methods- study comprised of 52 eyes of 52 patients with vitreous haemorrhage. Patients of all age groups were included in the study. Patients who have received prior treatment for vitreous haemorrhage were excluded. Local examination including BCVA, indirect ophthalmoscopy, B-scan USG was done to find out the cause of vitreous haemorrhage. This was aided by thorough history taking and systemic evaluation to rule out any systemic disorder. Results- our study revealed male population to be more prone to vitreous haemorrhage. Blunt trauma emerged as the most common cause of vitreous haemorrhage(24.5%) followed by proliferative diabetic retinopathy(17%) and hypertensive retinopathy(15.1%). Conclusion- ocular trauma is a leading cause of vitreous haemorrhage and all cases should undergo B scan ultrasonography for early diagnosis and intervention should be done on individual case basis.
