What happens with a retinal hemorrhage?

When you suffer from a retinal hemorrhage, it means that the blood vessels inside of your retina are bleeding.  There are certain things that may be causing you to have a retinal hemorrhage, including:

• The blood vessels in your retina are bulging or you suffer from an eye problem like macular degeneration.
• You have underlying medical conditions like high blood pressure, leukemia, or diabetes.
• You were participating in outdoor activities that involved a quick change in air pressure. 
• You suffered from a head trauma 

What are the signs that I am suffering from a retinal hemorrhage?

If you have a retinal hemorrhage, you may have symptoms like:

• Suddenly becoming blind
• Gradually becoming blind
• Seeing floaters
• Having a hazy or distorted vision
• Having a red tint to your vision
• Having vision blurriness

If I come into your office, how would you diagnose my retinal hemorrhage?

To diagnose your retinal hemorrhage, there are a few things we might do. A vision test is one of the first things we may do to see how well your vision is doing. Running a blood test can also show any underlying conditions you may have that could have caused a retinal hemorrhage. A fluorescein angiography, a test that injects dye into a vein in your arm, can also be used to help show how the inside of your eye looks.
