I have had normal floaters for a while now, the kind you can't see
unless you try. Suddenly I have had two vitreous hemorrages. The
right eye was first, then three weeks later, the left eye. The left
eye was much worse and has left me with a nice ugly film which I know
in time will fade. My question is twofold. First, has anyone had this
happen all of a sudden in each eye so close together? Second, any
coping skills with seeing through a green/black film would be
appreciated. The last hemorrage was large and my entire field of
vision in my left eye is covered.

I might add that I was examined immediately after each for retinal
tear..fortunately, none, but was told there was a large amount of blood
from the hemorrage.

Several months ago, I experiences a virtual "floater" storm, the
notice in addition, almost by accident, that the vision in the ey
was cloudy and retaned a huge, hairy floater in the center visua
field

I subsequently saw an ophthalmologist and learned i had not suffered
retinal tear or detachment, but that I had a cataract. After this
had extensive B-scan biometry to get correct pre-op measurements
etc
On my drive home from this "fine" eye specialist, I experienced pain
and increasing pain, that did not abate in the eye and eye socket fo
several weeks. When I called to inquire of the biometry tech whethe
this could be an aftermath of the extensive biometry, given th
repeated 2-hours of it and had my pain and the possible relationshi
to the bonbardment of the eye with sound waves as any possible cause

The pain was horrid, abrutly stopped and immediately thereafer,
noted all the floaters were gone. However, almost immediately the ey
and socket felt tight, as though my eye were being forced into
squint from the top, back and side (the mirror revealed I was no
squinting).....however I have had the doc discount this continuin
discomfort AND the sudden appearance of lower eyelid swelling or wha
looks to be a pocket of swelling or liquid as just something to liv
with

I find this unacceptable, as well as amazinly unexplored
Anyone else every have this experience (not with a set of arrogan
docs, but the physiological sequelae>)?? My inquiry about th
biometry was simply to ascertain WHETHER there might be
relationship. And, the eye/socket and lid issues I was able t
attribute to possile vitreous fuild that neede to be reabsorbed. Bu
after a month of this discomfort and unpleasant aestheti
accompaniment, I am concerned and more than I little outraged

Any one with a similar experience? Or, an informed opinion on jus
what happened here

thanks
your guest..

I have got a vitreous hemorrage and have a few questions:
1. Any nutrition hints that can help?
2. Any life style hints that can help?
3. If I don't have diabetes or high blood pressure, why have I had a
massive hemorrage in my eye?
4. Do I need to be concerned about what will happen to my body next?
Thanks from anxiously awaiting a response.
