Hello
It seems from the history that you had a retinal tear for which you have undergone laser surgery.
Since you are having vitreous hemorrhage vitrectomy can be considered since the presenting visual acuity appears to be low in the affected eye.
Hence you can undergo vitrectomy for improvement of vision since it has shown no improvement even after 2 weeks.
Thank you
