Question 1

woke up with one eye bloodshot, weird dizzy/light headed/disoriented feeling (hard to explain), headache, now facial twitching, difficulty focusing?

Accepted Answer

? cluster headache: If you also noticed tears or nasal discharge from the side the eye is bothered, it may be a cluster headache.  This is a special kind of headache that affects the area around one eye.

It may also be there is something in your eye.  Is it hard to see out of that eye?  Or is it hard to move that eye?  This would indicate other causes.  What about the pupil?

Question 2

what causes a headache on one side and my eye bloodshot in same area?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are multiple possibilities. Some forms of migraine headache can present that way; however, i would recommend you be seen by an ophthalmologist to evaluate for possible eye problems.

Question 3

what can cause a headache on one side and my eye bloodshot in same place?

Accepted Answer

Many headaches: There are a number of unilateral headaches associated with cranial autonomic symptoms which can cause redness of the eye on the same side including migraine, cluster, hemicrania continua, paroxysmal hemicrania, and sunct. Diagnosis depends upon other features of the headache, most importantly duration of the headache without treatment as well as frequency.

Question 4

one eye=bit bloodshot+redness around iris. vision not great that eye for couple months. been red a few days shampoo in it. quickest doctors=6 jan help?

Accepted Answer

Need an eye exam: Unfortunately there is no way to know what is causing redness and poor vision without examining your eye.

Question 5

i have had a "cold" for a week now - cough, green mucus, sore throat, congestion. now  one eye is bloodshot. should i see my pcp?

Accepted Answer

Virus: Your description is most consistent with a viral illness (ie cold).  I would see your pcp to get meds to control your symptoms and make you more comfortable as the cold runs its course.

Question 6

the lower hemisphere of one eye is completely bloodshot. it is very clearly divided. almost like there is a line the red can't cross. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Many things may: Present with this. For an accurate assessment  an eye care doctor  needs to see this. Note if there is any pain or discomfort associated  with this!

Question 7

what causes your only one eye to get bloodshot?

Accepted Answer

Ocular irritation: If you only have one eye this can be an emergency and you should seek immediate attention by an ophthalmologist. If only one of your eyes is having this problem it is still an urgent problem. It can be a simple problem with simple answer or a sign of potential dangerous problems either in the body as a whole or in the eye itself that can lead to loss of vision or function.

Question 8

what could be causing one bloodshot eye?

Accepted Answer

Some thoughts: Couple common problems can do this: corneal abrasion (scratched eye)-perhaps something got into that eye. Subconjunctival hemorrhage-when a tiny blood vessel beneath the surface of the eye breaks (not always assoc with a known injury). It's usually painless and resolves w/in 2 wks w/o specific tx. If you have other bleeding/bruising problems, high bp, vision loss/changes, significant pain see doc.

Question 9

what could cause one bloodshot eye with no pain?

Accepted Answer

Many things: If it actually looks like a small amt of blood, could be a subconjunctival hemorrhage, which is common, painless and doesn't affect vision.  Other causes of red eyes (of which there are many) can have an asymmetric presentation, anything from pink eye, blepharitis, dry eye, allergies, hsv conjunctivitis, etc.  Mild cases of these things may not cause pain.

Question 10

baby is 10 months and also teething.. had a hole in his ear 3 weeks ago with infection and nou it looks like it is starting again
no drainage of fluid like previous time but has one bloodshot eye he is rubbing all the time?

Accepted Answer

Time for re-check: Three weeks from an initial ear infection is prime time for a repeat. Any infection creating a hole in the drum would likely seal over/heal initially but that too deserves a re-check. I would do so at your convenience. It may be something else that is troubling him.
