Subconjunctival Hemorrhage
A subconjunctival hemorrhage is when blood leaks from a broken blood artery in your eye onto the surface of your eye.
Although the disease may appear dangerous, it is frequently benign and resolves naturally in 1 to 2 weeks. Usually, the only symptom is the redness of the affected eye, though occasionally, you may also feel a minor irritation in your eye.
However, consult a doctor if you have subconjunctival hemorrhage and your vision is deteriorating.
The following are some possible causes of subconjunctival bleeding:
- excessively scratching your eyes
- severe sneezing or coughing
- vomiting
- eye injury
If you take blood thinners, have diabetes or high blood pressure, you can be more susceptible to this illness.
