Will there still be bleeding after laser treatment for retinal hemorrhage?

In general, whether bleeding recurs after laser treatment for retinal hemorrhage depends on the specific circumstances. Recurrence is usually unlikely if the underlying disease is well controlled and the treatment is timely and thorough; however, rebleeding may occur if the primary condition remains uncontrolled or if postoperative care is inadequate. The details are as follows:

If the laser treatment successfully seals the bleeding site and the underlying conditions—such as diabetic retinopathy or hypertensive retinopathy—are stably managed, with blood glucose and blood pressure maintained within normal ranges and good retinal vascular health, following regular follow-up examinations as advised by a physician typically helps effectively prevent rebleeding.

However, if the primary disease is not properly treated, with significant fluctuations in blood glucose or blood pressure, or if the initial hemorrhage was extensive and severe, residual risks may remain even after laser treatment. Combined with excessive eye use or strenuous physical activity after surgery, this increases the risk of vessel rupture, potentially leading to recurrent bleeding, possibly accompanied by symptoms such as decreased vision or visual distortion.

In daily life, it is essential to strictly control the underlying condition and take prescribed medications regularly. Avoid staying up late and prolonged screen time to prevent eye fatigue. Limit intense physical activities and opt for gentle exercises like walking. Regular fundus examinations are recommended to monitor retinal health and reduce the likelihood of recurrent hemorrhage.
