Signs and symptoms
Common signs and symptoms that may indicate this condition.
Warning signs - seek immediate care
Retinal Hemorrhage
Bleeding in the retina visible on angiography, often noticed as red patches in vision.
Sudden vision changes or visible blood in the eye require immediate ophthalmologic assessment.
Sudden Vision Loss
Rapid and significant decrease in vision ability, potentially indicating serious retinal issues.
This is a medical emergency. Seek immediate emergency care if vision loss occurs suddenly.
Blurred Vision
(ophthalmologic)Vision appears hazy or out of focus, making it difficult to see fine details.
Frequency: 70-80% of patients
Floaters
(ophthalmologic)Small dark spots or strings floating in the field of vision.
Frequency: 50-60% of patients
Visual Distortions
(ophthalmologic)Straight lines appear wavy or curved, affecting visual acuity.
Frequency: 40-50% of patients
Flash of Light
(ophthalmologic)Brief flashes or sparks of light in one or both eyes.
Frequency: 35-45% of patients
Eye Pain
(ophthalmologic)Discomfort or aching sensation in or around the eye.
Frequency: 15-25% of patients
Night Vision Difficulty
(ophthalmologic)Reduced ability to see in low light conditions or dark environments.
Frequency: 15-20% of patients
Macular Edema
(ophthalmologic)Swelling in the central retina affecting detailed vision and color perception.
Frequency: 15-20% of patients
