Question 1

describe the features of blood in eye.?

Accepted Answer

Blood inside the eye: Bleeding can occur from trauma, vascular events and certain hereditary illnesses that affect the eyes.  Free blood in the eye drops the vision and bleeding can also occur in the substance of the retina with variable effect on the vision (e.g. In diabetes).  Any bleeding in the eye needs immediate evaluation by your ophthalmolgist.

Question 2

blisters/cysts and blood in eye, why?

Accepted Answer

both eyes or one?: If both eyes spontaneously develop this problem it could suggest an underlying and serious systemic condition.  Some viruses are known to cause a hemorrhagic conjunctivitis also.  Blisters suggest an immunologic reaction as can be seen in steven's johnson syndrome.  I would recommend seeing a doctor immediately!

Where?: If you mean on the white part and there is little or no pain, yes, that  is very common.  It is no more serious than a bruise to your thigh and will go away without any overt treatment.  It is more common in those who need blood thinners--but do not stop them.  The most common cause is stifling a sneeze--let her rip.  Don't "play" with it.  Don't hold your breath with exertion of any kind.
