A member asked:
Both of my eyes have red patches and it looks like blood . it is also spreading and moving to my pupils . is it a subconjuctival hemmorage ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: The conjunctiva (membrane around the white of eye) contains small lacy blood vessels that can break when rubbed or when severely irritated by inflammation, infection or trauma. Sometimes increased blood pressure, or sneezing, forceful coughing, straining, heavy lifting may rupture the vessels. Blood thinners (aspirin, Advil, (ibuprofen) fish oil, Coumadin) increase risk. Unusually a bleeding problem too.
