Vitreous Hemorrhage

Vitreous hemorrhage occurs when blood leaks into the clear, gel-like substance called the vitreous humor inside the eye. This can cause vision to become blurry or see dark spots, similar to floaters. The bleeding may result from conditions like diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, or injury. Treatment depends on the cause and severity; minor cases might improve on their own, while severe bleeding might need medical procedures to clear the blood and address the underlying issue. Prompt evaluation by an eye specialist is important to prevent potential vision loss.
