Hyphema treatment begins with head elevation to about 30 degrees, including while sleeping. An eye shield should also be placed and worn until the hyphema has completely resolved. [9] Vitreous hemorrhages are treated by targeting the underlying cause, such as with laser photo-coagulation for proliferative diabetic retinopathy or retinal detachment.
Retinal hemorrhage (UK English: retinal haemorrhage) is a disorder of the eye in which bleeding occurs in the retina, the light sensitive tissue, located on the back wall of the eye. [1] There are photoreceptor cells in the retina called rods and cones , which transduce light energy into nerve signals that can be processed by the brain to form ...
Vitreous hemorrhage is the extravasation, or leakage, of blood into the areas in and around the vitreous humor of the eye. [1] The vitreous humor is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eye.
Officials are warning of “bleeding eyes” virus, a.k.a. Marburg virus, after deaths in Rwanda. Here doctors share symptoms, treatments, and prevention.
A subconjunctival bleeding is typically a self-limiting condition that requires no treatment unless there is evidence of an eye infection or there has been significant eye trauma. Artificial tears may be applied four to six times a day if the eye feels dry or scratchy. [10] The elective use of aspirin is typically discouraged.
Public health officials across the world are monitoring the spread of a deadly virus ominously known as "bleeding eye disease". But what exactly is it? At least 66 people have been infected and 15 ...
Hyphema is the medical condition of bleeding in the anterior chamber of the eye between the iris and the cornea. [1] People usually first notice a loss or decrease in vision. [1] The eye may also appear to have a reddish tinge, or it may appear as a small pool of blood at the bottom of the iris in the cornea.
In general, branch retinal vein occlusion has a good prognosis: after 1 year 50–60% of eyes have been reported to have a final visual acuity of 20/40 or better even without any treatment. With time the dramatic picture of an acute branch retinal vein occlusion becomes more subtle, hemorrhages fade so that the retina can look almost normal.
