Question 1

i hardly take my contacts out sleep with them for weeks  now my eyes have red veins and are forever blood shot red?

Accepted Answer

Remove contacts!: Despite the FDA allowing extended wear of contacts, it is never a good idea to wear contact lenses for more than 24 hours at a time. It increases your risk for a devastating corneal ulcer! it is also causing all of your symptoms. Take out your contacts every night, clean them properly. Use rewetting drops. Get new contacts regularly.

Question 2

i have blood shot veins in the white part of an eye all the time. how do you get rid of them, and is this the start of trouble to come?

Accepted Answer

Probably dry: Prominent conjunctival vessels usually are an indication of ocular dryness, wind, dust, other environmental exposures. Allergies ; the treatment of them can also make your eyes red. Inflammations ; infections would have obvious associated issues besides redness (pain, discharge, sensitivity). You can try lubricating eye drops like refresh™ optive 3-6 times per day to see if helps. An eye exam need.

Question 3

do symptoms like blood shot eyes go away quickly?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Bloodshot eyes caused by a subconjunctival hemorrhage can take up to 2 weeks or longer to go away. If the eye is pink (inflammation, allergy, infection), it may improve quickly with the appropriate treatment. A trip to the eye doctor can help sort out what is going on and how best to treat it.

Question 4

why is my right eye currently bloodshot ?  i have a central retina vein occlusion in my left eye which i have had for the past 7 years.

Accepted Answer

Bloodshot eye: With your history, i would go get this issue checked out asap.  It is probably nothing serious but you hate to take chances with your vision.  Go see your eye doctor.

Question 5

after blood vein occlusion in the eye, how long can a person expect swelling in the eye ball after healing ? (diagnosis:  cystoid macular degenerative / venous tributary occlusion)

the occlusion happened over a year ago and i have been under a ophthamolo

Accepted Answer

The : The fact that your ophthalmologist has been able to help you regain your vision says a lot about his skill.  He knows your anatomy and the area of the occlusion in the eye so he is the correct person to ask these questions to.  Indeed, prior to some of the "miracle"  drugs that we have available today, people with your problem rarely gained much eyesight back.

Question 6

hello, im asking for my aunt who suffered an eye stroke- crvo (central retinal vein occlusion) and was prescribed blood thinner, clopidogrel to prevent further strokes. is it safe/risky for her to get micro acupuncture while on blood thinners?

Accepted Answer

: I would suggest that it is minimally risky  but I would not do it unless essential. Good Luck

Question 7

my right eye is blood shot. it goes dry if i don't blink often enough but is really watery wen i blink. i can't c clearly out of right eye.

Accepted Answer

Better lubrication: Adequate tears are necessary to lubricate the top layer of the cornea, the clear dome over the fron of your eye and the conjunctiva, the "skin" over your eye ball.  When they are insufficient, small defects can occur in the top layer, exposung nerves underneath- and this causes discomfort, sandy or gritty feeling, pain and redness. You start to develop reflexed tearing.

Question 8

what could be the reason why my eyes are blood shot the last couple of night when go to bed?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: Allergies, chemical irritants, alcohol all can be cause.

Question 9

can eye drops help blood shot eyes?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If the redness is caused by allergy or dry eyes - drops can help tremendously.  Sometimes the redness is due to blepharitis or an underlying disease.  Any redness which persists or worsens should be checked out with your ophthalmologist.
