Question 1

what does it mean to have a dot of blood in your eye?

Accepted Answer

Dry eyes?: 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.

Question 2

what does it mean if i have blood shot eyes?

Accepted Answer

Dryness: Fatigue lowers the tear flow and causes some eye redness.  As long as your vision is not affected or the eyes do not hurt or have pus in them, then you can wait a few days for it to clear.  And get some relief from topical lubricant eyedrops.  If persistent then see your ophthalmologist.

Question 3

what does it mean if i'm seeing blood in eyes?

Accepted Answer

Common, but: Subconjunctival hemorrhage (bleeding right under the skin of the eye ball) can occur follow coughing/forceful vomitting, or even sneezing. Often no vision change, no pain. Some may feel "something there" but no pain. Looking at it can be scary because it is "blood-shot" if you have change in vision, pain, sensitivities to light, headaches etc...Then see doc asap. If not, it'll get better. Good luc.

Question 4

i have a red dot of blood spot in my eye what is it?

Accepted Answer

Subconj heme: It is most likely a subconjunctival hemorrhage.  If you have a blood-red spot and your eye does not hurt and your vision is unaffected that is probably what you have.  It's a broken blood vessel that will get better on its own.  If you have any other symptoms besides the spot, you should see an ophthalmologist to make sure.

Question 5

i've had dark circles under my eyes for my life i think. but when i pinch the skin lightly, the pinched part looks lighter, normal even. does that mean it's likely due to blood pooling under eyes?

Question 8

what does a broken blood vessel in the eye mean?

Accepted Answer

Usually nothing: Sub conjunctival hemorrhage is a common condition.  It may be due to blood pressure ore eye pressure.  But usually a cause is not found. Any valsalva maneuver may cause a capillary to break, even heavy lifting or constipation.  It is usually benign.  But have your eyes checked.

Question 9

left side of brain hurt and my left eye is really red, blood pressure 139 over 88, what does it mean ?
