We report the case of a 55-year-old male who, 15 years after right-eye trauma and unsuccessful conservative therapy, underwent surgical treatment using multistage vitreoretinal procedures. Despite an initially poor functional prognosis, a marked improvement in visual acuity was achieved, from 2.0 logMAR at baseline to 0.52 logMAR after completion of treatment. Imaging (OCT, B-scan ultrasonography) confirmed complete retinal attachment and the absence of active intra- or subretinal bleeding. This case demonstrates that, even after a long interval following trauma, vitreoretinal surgical interventions may lead to partial restoration of visual function and stabilization of ocular anatomy, underscoring the importance of individualized assessment of surgical indications in chronic post-traumatic retinal disorders.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14207411","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,20]],"date-time":"2025-10-20T13:54:41Z","timestamp":1760968481000},"page":"7411","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Should Chronic Subretinal Hemorrhage Be Treated Surgically?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8266-1803","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wojciech","family":"Lubo\u0144","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Medical University of Silesia, 40-514 Katowice, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Professor K.
