We report a case of a 16-year-old girl with acute visual complaints who was diagnosed with bilateral retinal detachment using point-of-case ultrasound and ultimately was diagnosed with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. This case illustrates the use of point-of-care ultrasound by the pediatric emergency physician to recognize the ocular abnormality associated with this rare disease.
