Having a micro bleed (uk)!

[Zinadane]

Good control 50 years etc!
2k laser both sides and all stable apparaently, last review 2 months back now.
But today now noticing my second micro bleed, not major but I know what it is (last one was 8 years ago)
Perimeter of vision (that bit of cobwebby blood floating around).
I think it should just go away in a few days.
What do I do, should I get it seen, etc, hols now for a few days?

Fortunately my a&e have an eye emergency dept who are open 9-2 on weekends and bank hols.
Examination revealed a small vitreous detachment had caused the bleed, completely non retinopathy related I was told.
Just one of those things that can happen when you get older.
Will take 7-10 days for the floaters to clear up.
All my retinopathy and lasered areas were checked whilst I was there and all stable and inactive.
Glad I got it checked out, the opthamologist was extremelyy helpful, not bad for a Sunday morning at your a&e!

That’s good news @Zinadane, puts your mind at rest, we always fear the worst but it usually works out for the best, enjoy the rest of your few days off

That's good @Zinadane Glad you've been able to get it checked out.

Oh, and the opthamologist told me about her diabetic cat which she had fitted a libre 2 on.
Unbelievable!
But apparently had proven to be quite a success.
