Vitreous hemorrhage can be due to which causes?

• A. Trauma
• B. Uveitis
• C. Both trauma and uveitis
• D. Infection

Answer: (C)

Vitreous hemorrhage happens when blood enters the gel inside the eye. It can come from damage to retinal or choroidal vessels, or from abnormal new vessels that bleed. Trauma directly injures ocular vessels or can cause vitreous traction that bleeds. Inflammation from uveitis disrupts the blood-ocular barriers and can lead to bleeding, especially if inflammatory vessels are fragile or neovascularization develops. Infection isn’t a typical direct cause of vitreous hemorrhage, though severe intraocular infection can accompany various eye problems; the main culprits here are trauma and uveitis.
