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 ...
Intraocular hemorrhage (sometimes called hemophthalmos or hemophthalmia) is bleeding inside the eye (oculus in Latin).Bleeding can occur from any structure of the eye where there is vasculature or blood flow, including the anterior chamber, vitreous cavity, retina, choroid, suprachoroidal space, or optic disc.
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.
The diagnosis of branch retinal vein occlusion is made clinically by finding retinal hemorrhages in the distribution of an obstructed retinal vein. Fluorescein angiography is a helpful adjunct. Findings include delayed venous filling, hypofluorescence caused by hemorrhage and capillary nonperfusion, dilation and tortuosity of veins, leakage due ...

Intraocular bleeding, which can happen in the retina, subhyaloid space (beyond the vitreous membrane), or vitreous body, is the main cause of ocular involvement. If treatment is not received, this bleeding can cause long-term problems such retinal detachment or scarring in addition to impairing eyesight.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage, bleeding between the brain and arachnoid; Direct brain trauma, due to the brain striking the inner surfaces of the skull. Eye injury, retinal hemorrhage caused by to and from oscillation of the lens; Skeletal injury, posterior rib fracture caused by squeezing the chest as the child is tightly gripped. [59] [60] [61]
Entoptic images have a physical basis in the image cast upon the retina. Hence, they are different from optical illusions, which are caused by the visual system and characterized by a visual percept that (loosely said) appears to differ from reality. Because entoptic images are caused by phenomena within the observer's own eye, they share one ...
