Symptom #5: Vitreous Hemorrhage
All parts of our body need a constant supply of fresh blood, and the eye is no exception. The eye is fed fresh blood by tiny blood vessels, and these delicate tubes can become damaged under certain conditions. This can lead to blood being leaked into the vitreous fluid in a condition known as a vitreous hemorrhage.
Vitreous fluid is the clear, jelly-like substance that is found in the center of the eye. Usually, it would allow light to pass freely through and onto the retina. If blood is present, however, then the light will not have such an easy passage, and this can affect the patient’s eyesight.
