Bleeding into the retina

Bleeding into the retina, also known as retinal hemorrhage, involves the leakage of blood into the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. This condition can occur due to various factors such as retinal vein occlusion, diabetic retinopathy, or trauma to the eye. Symptoms include sudden vision loss, blurry vision, seeing floaters, or dark spots in the field of vision. Retinal hemorrhage requires prompt medical attention to diagnose the cause and prevent further vision impairment. Treatments may vary based on the underlying condition and severity of the bleeding.
