i have burst blood vessels above my left eyeball?

Accepted Answer

Bleed: This is a sub-conjunctival hemorrhage.  As long as the vision is unchanged and there is no pain, everything should be fine.  If it is a little irritated, then you can use an artificial tear up to 4 times a day to lubricate. This is due to a blood vessel leaking blood and is usually without cause.  Sometimes straining or blood thinner can cause this. If it continues to happen, follow up with eye md.

Sub conj nemorrhage: A broken blood vessel on the surface of your eye is totally harmless.  It can be caused by a hard cough or sneeze, a hard bowel movement, or even just rubbing your eyes.  It may occur more often in people who take blood thinners or Aspirin on a regular basis.  There is no treatment necessary for this, but it may take up to two weeks to resolve.

Dryness: The vast majority of conjunctival hemorrhages are caused by dry eyes which can be helped with artificial tears.  Sometimes, the bleeding can be worsened by use of anticoagulants such as Coumadin (warfarin) or plavix.  Other causes include uncontrolled blood pressure and bleeding disorders.  If you have headaches or other symptoms, please see your ophthalmologist right away.
