We report the case of 16-year-old girl who presented with sudden painless decreased vision in her right eye of 5 days' duration. Anterior segment examination in both eyes showed conjunctival pallor. Results of ophthalmoscopic examination and optical coherence tomography were consistent with macular preretinal hemorrhage in both eyes with macular star in the left eye. Hematologic investigation disclosed severe iron deficiency anaemia. After 2 months, with oral substitution therapy with ferrous ascorbate and improved iron levels, the patient's visual acuity improved and macular preretinal hemorrhage resolved in both eyes.
