A suspected retinal detachment or vitreous hemorrhage is a medical emergency requiring immediate evaluation by an ophthalmologist. There are no home remedies or over-the-counter medications for these conditions. Please go to an emergency room or eye clinic immediately. If a retinal detachment is confirmed, urgent surgery (such as laser therapy, freezing, or vitrectomy) is necessary to prevent permanent vision loss. For a vitreous hemorrhage, treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve laser therapy or surgery. While waiting for your evaluation, rest with your head elevated and avoid strenuous activity. Do not delay seeking professional medical care.
