Suggest Treatment For Vitreous Hemorrhage

Hi, I had a small vitreous hemorrhage following PVD about 8 months ago (an initial streak followed by thousands of black dots in my vision) from a blood vessle tear on optical nerver. The blood cleared fairly quickly the first two weeks and my corrected vision is 20 20 but has not gotten better since then. When I adjust focus and stair at white background, I can actually see hundreds of tiny circles that I presume are ghost cells. The Dr. was primarily concerned with retinal tears which thankfully I didn't get and has said there's nothing that can be done about a small bit of residual blood in vitreous However, it is very annoying as it swirls around every time I look around. Again my eyesight has returned to 20 20 but I haven't managed to ignore it as I'm involuntarily reminded every minute or so. There are two slightly larger faint spots that are yellowish in sunny conditions. I read that in Asia (Japan, China, Korea) they treat vitreous hemorrhage with iodized lecithin (wo-liteng of jolethin) but there seems no treatment here shy of victrectomy which is not indicated. Do you have any suggestions? Does this ever get better on its own? It's been 8 months. Thank you.

In your case nothing should be done since vision is good. Tiny dots are due to blood streak. Try to live with them Interference may create more problem.you can discus with retina surgeon and take his view.
