Symptoms

The disease rarely affects two eyes at the same time.

Most often, the symptoms appear the next morning after sleep and do not cause any pain.

Possible complications

Independently blood clots in the vitreous dissolve very slowly, therefore require additional stimulation and treatment. If you do not see a doctor if you have symptoms, even a small hemorrhage can give complications.On the one hand, the clots do not completely resolve themselves. On the other hand, the problem is capable of relapsing.Ultimately, the disease can completely deprive the eye of the ability to see well.

Treatment

When the first symptoms appear, you must immediately visit an ophthalmologist for a thorough diagnosis, which includes:

After determining the nature and severity of the problem, the ophthalmologist prescribes treatment.

Medication

Hemorrhage in the vitreous in a mild form is absorbed when using a drug treatment.Patients prescribe drugs that have a positive effect on the blood condition (Vikasol), as well as intravenous sodium chloride and local - calcium chloride. In addition, a solution of dexamethasone is prescribed as a corticosteroid drug.

Vikasol is used to improve the blood

In the period of treatment, it is important to take food and additional drugs containing a large amount of calcium. This is important to prevent relapses and complications.

Surgically

One of the most frequently prescribed methods of treating bleeding is laser coagulation.Such a procedure can relieve the problem of hemorrhage from abnormal vessels, and also prevent relapses and possible complications of the disease.

The most radical of the surgical methods of treating the disease is vitrectomy, which is the removal of the affected area of ​​the vitreous.This method is shown:
