Observation: Vitreous hemorrhage, which is blood dispersed in the vitreous from a leaking, usually retinal vessel, is obvious to the patient as it causes a blockage of vision.

If the patient has underlying disease which could cause it such as diabetes, leukemia, or blood clotting abnormalities, that might be a clue.
