مستخلص: We report a case of sight threatening vitreous haemorrhage and retinal detachment as complication of sickle cell disease (SCD). A 35 years old female Nigerian patient had presented to ophthalmology clinic of Princess Marina Hospital, Botswana, with two weeks history of poor vision in the left eye. The loss of vision was due to vitreous haemorrhage and retinal detachment which was confirmed by direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy and B-Scan ultrasound. Prior to presentation, patient didn't have any follow up by an ophthalmologist as part of regular medical care for patients with SCD. We emphasize the importance of regular follow up for early detection, treatment and prevention of complication associated with sickle cell disease.
