Abstract
Retinal hemorrhages occurring after high-altitude hiking are an early manifestation of HAR and are part of high-altitude illness. HAR usually occurs at altitudes above 4000Â m, is generally asymptomatic, and spontaneously regresses. A maladaptive autoregulatory response to hypobaric hypoxia appears to be the cause of HAR.
