Abstract

Subconjunctival hemorrhage (SCH) is an easily detectable examination finding for an ophthalmologist. It is a benign disorder with good visual prognosis. Herein, a 18-year-old male reported bilateral SCH. When the patient was reexamined, it has been observed in his history that patient climbed the mountain for the purpose of hunting the day before. This case emphasizes the importance of a thorough anamnesis in cases presenting with SCH.
