Your patient has a haemorrhage in the macula

If this is small, the patient should be assessed for hypertension and diabetes.

If the haemorrhage is larger and associated with visual loss, the concern is that the patient has suffered a branch retinal vein occlusion or has wet AMD.

Refer urgently via letter/soon via letter.
