retina hemmorage - Eye & Vision Message Board

ubu · 02-05-2001, 12:26 AM

A week ago I noticed suddenly that my vision was blurry and there was a dark spot in my central vision. I went to the ER and the doctor sent me off to the Opthamologist. He examined my eye very thoroughly and told me that I had a small hemmorage on my retina/macula. He said it should clear up within a couple months on its own, but that it could start bleeding again. I have a follow up appt with him and it all seemed to be ok but I've been doing some reading and the symptoms seem to sound like some other vision conditions. Has anyone else had this condition and can they tell me anymore about it? I also remember the Opthamologist using the word "fibrosis", what does this word mean? anyone know? I'd appreciate any info anyone can share....thanks a bunch.

Hi Kevin,

I have retina hemorrhaging. How is your eye now? Getting better?

ME! I have the same thing!Maybe worse...In 98 I started to notice a halo in the left hand cornor of my left eye....I ended up going to an eye specialist ...... Retina Consultants.........diagnosis..........C NVM.....idiopathic.....

I under went focal laser treatments......but yet the halo came back......When it finally hit my central vision I could no longer under go laser treatments...I under went major surgery.....to try and repair my central vision.....with no luck......I have a permanent blindness in my left eye.......well the central vision of my left eye...I was 36 yrs old at the time........I'm not implying this is what you have...but when you said dark circle in your central vision this for sure came to mind......I have idiopathic subfoveal choroidal neovascular membrane of my left eye.........I wish you the best of luck!
