    Stroke in the eye

    Stroke in the eye

    What do you need to know?

    An ocular haemorrhage is usually a harmless subconjunctival haemorrhage that usually resolves spontaneously without affecting vision.
    The characteristic symptom is a sudden redness of the eye without pain, although in rare cases there may be discomfort or visual problems.
    Treatment is based on rest, the use of cool compresses and observation of the eye condition, with no need for medication in most cases.
    An ophthalmologist should be consulted if pain, visual disturbances, frequent recurrences or a stroke occurs in people with coagulation disorders or hypertension.

    Ocular fundus examination

    Ocular fundus examination

    What do you need to know?

    A fundus examination is a non-invasive procedure to assess the condition of the internal structures of the eye and detect eye diseases and certain systemic conditions.
    The examination uses pupil dilation and an ophthalmoscope to view the retina, blood vessels, optic nerve disc and vitreous body.
    The temporary blurring of vision after the test usually lasts for several hours, so driving is not recommended immediately after the test.
    The examination can detect, among other things, glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, vascular disease and can also indicate cancerous changes or signs of aneurysms.
    Regular fundus examinations are particularly important for people over 40 and those with medical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension.
