Extract
- The visual field is suddenly and without pain blurred by a fog or haze that moves when the head/eye is moved.
- If the patient has no known underlying disease predisposing to VH (e.g. earlier treatment for proliferative diabetic retinopathy), he/she should be referred to an ophthalmologist immediately, or the next day at the latest, in order to identify the cause of the bleeding.
