The dark shadow formed by macular hemorrhage usually disappears gradually in about 1 to 3 months when the bleeding is less severe. If the bleeding is heavier, the recovery time is related to the severity of the bleeding and varies from person to person.
Macular hemorrhage can lead to abnormal black shadows in the patient’s normal field of vision, thus affecting visual function. There are many causes of macular hemorrhage, with trauma, eye rupture, high blood pressure, and diabetes being common causes. For a small amount of hemorrhage, the black shadow usually disappears after the clot absorbs itself, which takes about 1~3 months.
If the amount of macular hemorrhage is large, the blood stays for a long time and is absorbed slowly, the dark shadow often fails to disappear on its own or disappears slowly, and the speed of recovery varies from person to person. Oral medication or surgery is needed to restore the transparency of the refractive medium, thus relieving the dark shadows.
After a macular hemorrhage that causes a dark shadow, you should choose the appropriate medication or method of treatment under the guidance of your doctor.
