Subretinal hemorrhage size determines treatment options
Summary: If you have macular degeneration, you might experience a bleed in your eye known as a subretinal hemorrhage. How doctors fix it depends entirely on the size of the bleed. Small bleeds are usually treated with medicine injections. However, medium or massive bleeds require surgery to protect your eyesight. After surgery, continuing with injections helps keep your vision sharp for the long haul!
