I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD specializing in retina. It is difficult to ascertain the cause of your bleeding, but I would recommend that you undergo a complete workup to determine and treat the cause as well.

You might have a central retinal vein occlusion or a branch retinal vein occlusion.  Call your doctor to find out what you have and write it down. If it is one of these conditions, then you need to understand that the laser treatment doesn't cure it but merely tries to prevent the problem and loss of vision from getting even worse.  There is no cure for either condition and treatment is usually aimed at preventing devestating loss of vision and in some cases getting a little bit of improvement.  I also wonder if you had an avastin injection (please ask your doctor.)  If you are quick enough to get on the internet and ask these great questions, please take the time to talk to your doctor and find out your diagnosis and exactly what treatments you have been given so far and what the next plan of treatment is.  The more you learn the better you can work with your retinal specialist so I applaud your interest and questions.  Keep it up.
