Small eye hemorrhage

In November I saw an eye specialist. Because I had rust ring in my left eye. The particle was removed and I was given sap to heal it. But in the examination he discovered a small microscopic hemorrhage in my right eye. I had a pressure test and did tests for disease and diabetes. All the tests came back negative. The specialist thinks the small hemorrhage is from heavy lifting because of the kind of work I do. I went back and seen him again for a check up 4 weeks ago. He told me  the left eye is healing good  and the right eye with the hemorrhage, the hemorrhage is getting lighter in color “red spot “ and to go back  for a follow up in 6 month. But the problem is. In the last 2 weeks I am having floaters. I think I have had those most of my life but it just seems more in my right eye “the one with the small microscopic hemorrhage. It’s like a cloudy spot of floates on the out side. Is this from the hemorrhage? And will it clear up?

Just make an appointment to see your ophthalmologist and have another dilated exam.  It is possible you have a vitreous detachment, a vitreous hemmorhage or even a small retinal tear or detachment.  May or may not be related to the small hemorrhage you had.  Regardless, you need a new exam because of these new symptoms.
