Question 2

what are the dangers of wearing contact lens when you have a broken blood vessel in the eye. my eye feels fine and vision is fine too. just ugly.

Accepted Answer

Odd question: How do you know you have a "broken blood vessel in the eye?" Did your ophthalmologist tell you this? Some of the potential complications of contact lens wear include corneal epithelial problems and infectious keratitis. There are no blood vessels inside the cornea. It is a layer of keratin which must be clear to allow unimpeded passage of light through the lens to reach the retina.

Accepted Answer

Botox Bruising: It is common to get bruising around the eyes after having treatment with Botox to this area. The muscles that cause the wrinkles are very superficial in this area and tend to bruise easily. Make sure you see a trained injector, preferably an md, who understands the musculature of the face and proper injecting technique.

Question 4

i've had a broken blood vessel in my eye for years. is there any cure?

Accepted Answer

Broken blood vessel?: Patients with dry eyes and allergies can rub their eyes and experience recurrent broken blood vessels from the physical trauma of rubbing the eyes.  In some patients it can be due to elevated inr (too much coumadin) or excessive use of Aspirin or ibuprofen.  Treating the dry eye or allergies can reduce this.  If you have easy bruising or bleeding, check with your primary care doctor.

If this happens mutiple times, see and ophthalmologist (there may be undelying cause).

Question 6

how can i heal broken blood vessel in my eye?

With time and...: ...Patience.  Once a vessel breaks, it heals almost immediately.  Unfortunately, the blood that leaked out can stay in place for up to 2 weeks.  Nothing but time will heal this.  Vasoconstrictors (visine (r)) do not help the blood disappear, since they only close the blood vessel that is already healed and do not remove the blood that spilled out.
