A related discussion,
detached retina surgery was started.
Thanks for the reply,my problem is "vitreous hemorrhage" occurred 4 days after laser treatment to stop vessel bleeding and also to prevent the retina from detaching.
Now with the holidays all the offices are closed till Jan,
My eye start to bleed again and in aprox 45 minutes my vision
went to almost none, not been able to go to see the doctor that performed the surgery, I went the Hospital ER , they called the eye Dr that was on call, he said to go to his office today . today they called and said that his wife was having a baby , and they said to come in tomorrow,
now it is the waiting that I am concerned about. thanks ,
call the ophthalmologist that did the surgery and state your concern, they will tell you if you need to come see them sooner than planned or not.
i hope all goes well.
NO NOT COMMON
how do you know you are experiencing more bleeding? you mean around the wound/incision site?
any vision loss should be immediately reported to the surgeon.
Sorry Forum O.D. I learned the name " vitreous hemorrhage "
when I went to ER.
Thanks, you have been a great help.
okay a vitreous hemorrhage, yes that can wait until tomorrow. you may need a vitrectomy (another surgery), but maybe not. you knew all of this before you posted? i mean you knew you had a vitreous hemorrhage before you asked your question...or did you just find out at the ER?
anyway...no matter. not a medical emergency. as long as the surgeon knows and is okay with waiting...
It is "internal bleeding" rather than external bleeding that I am referring to. It has now gotten so cloudy that I can't see.
