A vitreous hemmorhage refers to blood in the vitreous cavity of the eye. Blood can develop gradually or slowly...depending on the origin. Patients typically experience a severe loss of vision...the degree of loss dependent on the amount and location of the blood.The most common causes of vitreous hemorrhage are...proliferative diabetic retinopathy, vitreous traction, branch retinal vein occlusion and trauma.
Vitreous hemorrhage oftentimes absorbs on its own. If the blood doesn't absorb....or if a retinal detachment develops behind the blood...vitrectomy surgery is required.
