Your eye care specialist will diagnose a retinal hemorrhage with an eye exam. They’ll look at your eyes (including inside them) and perform a visual acuity test.
You might also need a few tests to diagnose what caused the retinal hemorrhage or to help your eye care specialist see how damaged your retina is. The most common tests you’ll need include:
- A blood test to check for signs of infections or to check your cholesterol.
- Angiography.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
