Retinal haemorrhage - what does this mean
Retinal haemorrhage is a medical condition in which there is bleeding in the layer of the eye known as the retina. it is usually caused by high blood pressure, diabetes, or an injury to the eye, and can lead to vision loss if left untreated.
What happens during the disease - retinal haemorrhage
Retinal haemorrhage is a condition where bleeding occurs in the retina, the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye. it can be caused by a number of factors, including high blood pressure, diabetes, trauma, inflammation, and vascular malformations. high blood pressure causes damage to the delicate blood vessels in the retina, leading to leakage of blood into the retina and the formation of haemorrhages. diabetes can cause damage to the blood vessels in the retina, leading to the formation of microaneurysms which can rupture and cause haemorrhages. trauma to the eye can cause direct damage to the retina, leading to haemorrhage. inflammation of the eye can cause damage to the blood vessels in the retina, leading to haemorrhage. vascular malformations can cause abnormal development of the blood vessels in the retina, leading to the formation of haemorrhages.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete ophthalmic examination
- Visual acuity test
- Fundus examination
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan
- Fluorescein angiography
- Ultrasound of the eye
- Blood tests
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce the risk of further retinal damage and improve vision.
- Prescribe medications to reduce inflammation and prevent further retinal bleeding
- Monitor the patient's vision for any changes
- Perform laser surgery to seal any leaking blood vessels
- Perform photocoagulation to reduce the risk of further bleeding
- Inject medications into the eye to reduce swelling and bleeding
- Perform vitrectomy surgery to remove any blood from the eye
- Administer steroid injections to reduce inflammation
- Prescribe eye drops to reduce inflammation and reduce the risk of further bleeding
6 Days of Hospitalization Required
54 Hours Required for Outpatient Treatment
Retinal haemorrhage - Prevention
Retinal haemorrhage can be prevented by controlling and managing any underlying medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and vascular diseases. regular eye examinations and prompt treatment of any eye diseases is also recommended. additionally, avoiding activities that can put pressure on the eyes such as contact sports, extreme changes in altitude, and extreme physical exertion can help reduce the risk of retinal haemorrhage.
