hello,
Thanks for using HCM.I have gone through your query.
You must check level of INR. If it is high then you must dicontinue Acitrom and let the clot resolve.Once clot resolves you may restart Acitrom with lower dose with close monitoring on INR.
If your INR is normal then you should consult an ophthalmologist to find cause and treatment for the same
My best wishes
