Question 1

is it okay to wear contacts with a popped blood vessel?

Accepted Answer

YES, But: I assume you have a red eye from a broken blood vessel in the sclera ( while part) of your eye.  The vessel and blood will not come in contact with a contact lens, but it would be best to give your eye a few days red.  Wearing a contact lens may slow the healing process.  You may want to be evaluated by an eye doc to make sure there is nothing else wrong withyour eye.

Question 7

are blood vessels popping out in eyes dangerous?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

why do i get sharp pain on the side of my head,feels like a blood vessels popping,also feeling very weak.a after the pain leaves it feels cold at area?

Accepted Answer

Neuralgia: An irritable superficial scalp nerve may be the cause of this symptom. This is more of a nuisance disorder which usually resolves without any specific treatment. Less likely would be an inflamed temporal artery. A neurologist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you if this symptom persists.

Question 10

how long before corneal blood vessels will grow towards your cornea, from wearing contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Most blood vessels on the cornea are due to lens or lens cleaner toxicity although there are other causes.  They will continue to grow as long as you do not treat them and continue the routine you are using of contact wear and cleaner use.  Check with you ophthalmologist before this gets serious.
