- In this video, Dr. Priyanka Singh, a retinal consultant at Shekar Eye Hospital in Bangalore, talks about Vitreous Hemorrhage.
Vitreous Hemorrhage refers to bleeding in the gel-like substance called vitreous, which fills the back of the eye between the lens and the retina. This is a serious condition that can cause vision loss and requires immediate medical attention.
Vitreous hemorrhage is more commonly observed in older adults. The most common causes include proliferative vascular retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, occlusion of some blood vessels, and breakthrough hemorrhages. The less common causes include sickle cell retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, ocular trauma, penetrative injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, etc.
Symptoms include cobwebs, haze, shadows, or floaters, and loss of vision. The patient has to undergo scans or ultrasonography to diagnose and understand if there is any underlying retinal detachment or not. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. In some cases, the bleeding may clear up on its own, while in others, surgical intervention may be necessary.

Thank you for this clear explanation.
It is very hard to hear with the music in the background.
Can you do a vitrectomy for clearing out the blood from the vitreous using a suction pump?
Do cataracts really form then after a vitrectomy? And rather soon?
👍👍👍

Great video. I am suffering with it now in left eye with sudden painless vision loss. 😢
😊
Any treatment
Same here I am in the wait and see stage
@@newlaunch7205 yes I had my retinopexy done within 24 hrs. Saved my vision. After 5 weeks .. my vision was 20/20 with some floaters. After 7 weeks it's way better. I drive .. and do all activities. Thanks to HIM Almighty!
@@antdwg67 are you waiting without any treatment? Or did you see a Retina specialist right away?
This is freaky. A few days ago I had laser surgery to cauterize a retinal tear. Now, if I tilt my head way back and look up, I can see a dark mass flow into my field of view. I presume it to be blood, and floats at the top of the vitreous humor.
Blind spot where they lasered?
@@scd603 The retinal tear was pretty much in the far edge of my retina, and even the doctors could barely see it. No blind spot to speak of.
That dark mass I was seeing gradually thinned out and disappeared. However, the retinal tear repair was I suppose 'botched' and was still bleeding, after almost 3 weeks, so I had to have a vitrectomy to clear up my vision.
The procedure seems to have been quite successful.
@@user-hq4jz6lc9dDo you have better vision in that eye now ?
