The outcome will depend on what is the cause and duration of the haemorrhage.
If it's a macular haemorrhage due to trauma, or due to diabetes or due to age related degeneration, each of them would have a different underlying underlying cause and different treatment.
There are certain scans called OCT or FFA angiography which may need to be done to document the thickness of the retina fuebto the bleed and how it responds to treatment
