The goal of the treatment is to fix the cause of the hemorrhage as quickly as possible. Retinal tears are closed by laser treatment or cryotherapy, and detached retinas are reattached surgically. [6] Even after treatment, it can take months for the body to clear all of the blood from the vitreous. [2]
Vitreous hemorrhage may be diagnosed when symptoms such as floaters, haziness, perception of shadows, or cobwebs are present. It is usually painless. Visual acuity may be affected variably depending on the amount of blood in the visual axis. Diagnosis is made with slit lamp examination and confirmed with optical coherence tomography (OCT).
An instance of intraretinal hemorrhage coexisting with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was initially documented by German ophthalmologist Moritz Litten in 1881. In 1900, French ophthalmologist Albert Terson reported a link between SAH—later known as Terson syndrome—and vitreous hemorrhage.

The diagnosis of branch retinal vein occlusion is made clinically by finding retinal hemorrhages in the distribution of an obstructed retinal vein. Fluorescein angiography is a helpful adjunct. Findings include delayed venous filling, hypofluorescence caused by hemorrhage and capillary nonperfusion, dilation and tortuosity of veins, leakage due ...
The ghost cells develop within the vitreous cavity, 1–3 weeks after vitreous hemorrhage. [1] They obstruct the trabecular meshwork and eventually the pressure inside eye (intraocular pressure) increases and leads to glaucoma. A variety of ocular conditions may cause GCG.
Proliferative sickle retinopathy is the most severe ocular complication of sickle cell disease. Even though PSCR begins in the first decade of life, the condition remains asymptomatic and unnoticed until visual symptoms occur due to vitreous hemorrhage or retinal detachment. [8]
Vitreous hemorrhage – bleeding in the eye from injuries, retinal tears, subarachnoid hemorrhages (as Terson syndrome), or blocked blood vessels. Once blood is removed, photocoagulation with a laser can shrink unhealthy blood vessels or seal retinal holes.
