Question 1

i have fluid behind my retina, can you tell me the treatment for this?

Accepted Answer

Depends: I am guessing that you have seen a retinal specialist since they are the most likely ones to diagnose fluid under the retina.  Hopefully you are not seeing an optometrist as they cannot deal with a problem like this.  Fluid under the retina will alter the vision and lead to possible permanent vision loss.  You should seek out a retinal specialist as soon as possible.

Question 2

what is the treatment for blood draining behind the retina?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause.: Blood draining behind the retina is actually  blood accumulating behind the retina. The medical term is subretinal hemorrhage. The treatment depends on the cause and amount. If it is due to trauma and central, affecting the vision, it can either be observed for clearing or surgically removed. If due to macular degeneration, it can be treated by intraocular injections. There are other causes.

Question 3

has anyone experienced bleeding behind retina or detached retina?

Accepted Answer

Many: These are conditions in which the retina, the visual film at the back of the eye, becomes loosened from its moorings which disturbs the vision and can cause permanent loss of not fixed.  Bleeding can also lift off the retina but more commonly causes a blockage of vision by covering up the front of the retina.  See your retinal ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment which is possible.

Question 4

how often does a nevus behind the retina turn into a melanoma?

Accepted Answer

Not extremely common: It is not extremely common but it can happen to anyone. I recommend seeing a doctor so they can determine if it is in fact melanoma.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes, it Depends: Depending on the accessibility of the lesion a biopsy may taken and examined by a pathologist to arrive at a diagnosis.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Sunglasses…: …are always a good idea when outdoors in sunlight to protect your eyes from uv rays. You want good ones that block both uva & uvb & have lenses that don't distort your vision. Are you under the care of an ophthalmologist? If not, i'd highly advise seeing one for the detached retina problem.
