The treatment of retinal hemorrhage should be determined according to the specific underlying cause. For hemorrhage caused by trauma, in addition to local cold compresses to control bleeding, medications such as Shujin Huoxue tablets or Sanqi tablets may be used to promote the resolution of blood stasis. For retinal hemorrhage resulting from chronic conditions like hypertension or diabetes, it is essential to actively manage the primary disease—using antihypertensive drugs such as nifedipine sustained-release tablets or metoprolol tartrate tablets, or antidiabetic agents such as metformin hydrochloride tablets or acarbose tablets. These medications effectively lower blood pressure and glucose levels, thereby reducing stress on retinal blood vessels and facilitating the absorption of hemorrhage. After 24 hours from the onset of bleeding, warm compresses can be applied using a clean towel soaked in warm water and then wrung out, to improve local circulation and accelerate the absorption of accumulated blood. If the retinal hemorrhage is severe or persists without improvement, surgical intervention such as vitrectomy may be considered to remove the accumulated blood from the eye and vitreous tissue.
