Bleed Close To The Retina Apparently Not A Problem
3 Answers
Hi there
Since last week I was getting black spots in my right eye. I thought it was floaters I just ignored it But I kept on getting them so I went to my optician who I have known for years. He dilated my eyes and told me I had a bleed at the back of the eye close to the retina so he contacted the hospital and I had to go and see a consultant ophthalmologist straight away after all the covid procedures. I saw this really nice consultant who seemed a bit confused re the urgency and said yes I had had a haemorrhage in my eye likely causing the black spots but the hope is it will reabsorb itself I'm in a blood thinner similar to warfarin so may make it worse. I will be sent an appointment in 3 months. I have an annual diabetic screening every time early diabetic eye changes but see me in a year. I'm confused is it not a problem a bleed near the retina? Could this have been caused by high blood sugar

trust your consultant
and dont second guess with a load of walk ins and readers digest readers on AB
hes done all the right bits - history and exam, and weighed up the difficult bits like - if he takes warf then it might linger longer
and if he stops warfarin he may ( do whatever the warf prevents)
which is what you pay them for
