How is vitreous/retinal hemmorhage diagnosed?

by Noelle77, Oct 15, 2009 04:10PM
Can a ophthalmologist see this through a dilated exam? I have symptoms, such as purple spots, etc, and they keep saying nothing is wrong. I think they are missing something, or lying to me.

1. Yes you can see viretous and retinal blood in the eye.
2. What would be the purpose of lying to you?
3. You may have a problem but its not likely blood that the eye MD sees and lies to you about.
4. There is a difference between not being able to diagnosis a problem and intentionally lieing to you. You must have trust issues. Work on them.
