Abstract

A 48-year-old male presented to us as an out-patient with a painless blurring of vision for five days. On examination, the visual acuity (VA) of his right eye was 6/36, while that of his left eye was 6/24. The rest of the systemic examination showed no notable findings except for fundus examination, which revealed multiple serous retinal detachments (SRD) confirmed on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Treatment involved intravenous administration of 1 gram methylprednisolone followed by oral steroids. His condition significantly improved after three doses with a corresponding enhancement in visual acuity with a resolution of SRDs. This case report illustrates the efficacy of corticosteroids in the initial and successful treatment of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.
