Intraocular hemorrhage


Intraocular hemorrhage is bleeding into the eyeball or medical illness. Severe bleeding may cause high pressures inside the eye, leading to blindness.

Types

The types of intraocular hemorrhage are classified based on where the bleeding is occurring. The bleeding may occur just underneath the conjunctiva, underneath the retina, or underneath the macula.
Different causes may cause bleeding in different locations.
Intraocular hemorrhage is typically diagnosed with slit lamp examination.
