Vitreous haemorrhage - what does this mean
Vitreous haemorrhage is a condition where blood enters the vitreous humour, the clear gel-like substance that fills the centre of the eye. it is usually caused by a tear or rupture in a retinal blood vessel, which can be due to a variety of conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusions, trauma, or inflammation.
What happens during the disease - vitreous haemorrhage
Vitreous haemorrhage is a condition in which blood vessels in the vitreous humour of the eye burst and leak blood into the eye cavity, causing blurred vision. the most common cause is age-related degeneration of the vitreous humour, which weakens the walls of the blood vessels, making them more prone to rupture. other causes include trauma, diabetes, high blood pressure, and retinal diseases such as retinal detachment.
