Retinal hemorrhage is usually caused by rupture or leakage of ocular blood vessels due to various factors. These causes may include: 1. Ocular trauma, such as injury from sharp objects or severe compression, which may damage ocular blood vessels and lead to bleeding. 2. Ocular inflammation, such as conjunctivitis or retinal vasculitis, which can cause vascular dilation, congestion, and even vessel rupture with bleeding. 3. Systemic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, which may also trigger retinal vascular abnormalities leading to hemorrhage. 4. Use of certain medications, such as anticoagulants, which may increase the risk of retinal hemorrhage. Retinal hemorrhage is a serious ocular condition that requires prompt medical treatment to prevent vision loss or other complications.
