A member asked:

My 5month old baby has a red spot in her left eye its been a day, it happened before and went away by its own is it a blood vessel? what causes it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scratch?: If it comes and goes it is not a blood vessel. Could be a scratch. It is harmless--keep the nails short.

Hi there, I am a 22yr old male with no significant past medical history and at an optometrist today, they found a small red spot on my retina along a blood vessel - could this be a microaneurysm? Can that be normal in someone of my age?
