Specializes in Ophthalmology

Vitreous hemorrhage: Bleeding into the vitreous cavity causing floaters can take weeks to months to clear. In some cases, it never clears and surgery is indicated to remove the blood. This problem should be managed by an ophthalmologist.

Days to weeks: Blood settled on on the bottom of the eye and gets absorbed. If there is only a small amount, it should be unnoticeable within days to a few weeks. Make sure you get a good eye exam to look for retinal tears, or if you are diabetic, for proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
