A large bleeding may indicate a more serious condition. A retinal tear or detachment can occur due to high intraocular or blood pressure. The blood vessels in the iris or ciliary bodies of the eye, as well as the retinal hemorrhage, may also be caused by this. The ophthalmologist will perform an examination to determine the severity of the damage and the type of retinal hemorrhage. In some cases, surgery may be required, such as the removal of blood in the anterior chamber and vitreous, or laser coagulation to remove tears from the retina.

The red spot will usually disappear completely within 7-10 days. You may notice that the area of the hemorrhage increases the first or second days after you have noticed it.

The growth of the area will eventually stop, and the area will start to shrink.
