My wife has to get shots to clear up bleeds in her eyes.
She may have been suffering from Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD). This is the less common form, resulting from ruptured capillaries in the retina, but it is treatable unlike the dry form of the disease. Fortunately, dry AMD appears to be preventable to some degree through diet (lots of greens) and supplementation (Lutein/ Zeaxanthin/ Vitamins A and E).
