A member asked:

There seems to be blood in my eye which started of only little which has now spread to just above my pupil and i can't feel my eye blink?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Capillary bleed: The usual cause of a subconjunctival hemorrhage is a burst capillary and these are not serious despite looking quite ugly and no specific treatment is needed. The blood is slowly absorbed over a week or so. However if there is associated pain or visual disturbance, consult an ophthalmologist to be sure.
