If you have vitreous hemorrhage, your eye needs to be examined thoroughly for any signs of retinal tear or retinal detachment. Usually the blood will clear over several weeks to months. Severe cases of bleeding will require vitrectomy surgery to remove the blood.

Our retina specialists offer unsurpassed diagnosis and treatment of all disorders affecting the retina, vitreous, and macula. Our support team will guide you through the process with compassion and expertise.
