Accepted Answer

Not known!: In saptamrita lauha as in many other herbal supplements, there are not enough research available to confirm or refute its effectiveness. In uncommon diseases such as sickle cell retinopathy- related vitreous hemorrhage, conducting such a research is difficult to conduct.

Question 2

in diabetic retionopathy, when vitreous haemorrhage occurs, should a vitrectomy be done or are there other treatments?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Bleeding int the eye (vitreous hemorrhage) secondary to diabetic retinopathy occurs in the presence of 'proliferative diabetic retinopathy'  -  the mainstay of treatment is laser photocoagulation to the retina and vitrectomy when severe or non-clearing.  In the last few years, injection of anti-angionec medicines into the eye can forestall or prevent vitrectomy in certain situations.

Question 3

how do they diagnose vitreous hemorrhage ?

Accepted Answer

Clinical examination: The doctor examines the vitreous and retina to look for bleeding to diagnose a vitreous hemorrhage. The doctor then has to determine the cause of the hemorrhage.

Question 4

would my vitreous hemorrhage go away if i left it for a while?

Accepted Answer

Usually: The eye will mostly clear out hemorrhage in the back of the eye over a somewhat slow time.  The source of the bleeding might need treatment, especially if it is related to diabetes.  If the hemorrhage persists for months, and seems not to change, then a retinal surgeon should be seen for possible surgical removal.

Question 5

can vitreous hemorrhage be absorbed completely with time?

Accepted Answer

: This is a concern that only an Ophthalmologist can address.  I certainly would seek out care ASAP.  When dealing with issues of the eye, don’t wait for problem to resolve itself, because your vision can be in jeopardy.  Seek care ASAP.
