Alea iacta est |
I woke up this morning and my eye looks blood red on half my eye. Nothing like this has ever happened before. It doesn’t hurt, no feeling of scratch or anything. Just looks really odd. Any advice or if anyone knows anything about this, I’d love to hear. Didn’t poke myself in the eye, or if I did, I sure don’t feel it. Anyways, here is a picture...  The “lol” thread | ||

Hoping to avoid seeing a doctor, and that there would be one here with some advice. Unfortunately, I don’t have health insurance, and with buying a home, cash flow is a little tight. Hoping there is an ophthalmologist on the forums, and hoping it’s nothing to be concerned with. The “lol” thread | |||

Your optometrist can generally diagnose issues with the sclera of the eye. Please make this a priority and make an appt with your eye doctor. Don’t take any risks amigo with your vision... ______________________________________________ Life is short. It’s shorter with the wrong gun… | |||

Not a doc, but one question, do you wear contacts? | |||

Thanks for the advice. The majority seems to think I should see a doctor, guess I’ll go... Nope, I don’t wear contacts. Yes, my eyes are that beautiful blue naturally. lol The “lol” thread | |||

You can walk into Sams or Walmart. Should not be much. The optometrist there can diagnose the problem and if you need more put you on fast track with opthamologist. | |||

A little blurry pic, but looks very much like a subconjunctival hemorrhage. Nothing to worry about. Nothing to be done. It will clear up on its own. It really looks worse than its benign nature. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=subc...iax=images&ia=images Q | |||

Get yourself an appointment with an eye doctor! Better safe than sorry. Don't rely on what the internet says. It's YOUR eyesight for crying out loud. If people would mind their own damn business this country would be better off. I owe no one an explanation or an apology for my personal opinion. | |||

Good for scaring the cute barista first thing in the morning. Walk in with shades, tell her how badly you need coffee, and then let her see your eyes ... Don't rub it. Cool water might help reduce swelling but the damage is done. Something whacked the side of your head. A stick when you were mowing under the tree? Happened to me in August 2017. Subconjunctival hemorrhage along with concurrent poison ivy. Don't rub it. | |||

Yep; almost certainly a subconjunctival hemorrhage. Can be looked at, but not urgent. More common in people taking blood thinners; also as Q posted, transient blood-pressure raising maneuvers can cause these. I tell patients first time is a free pass; second time a workup to try and uncover the etiology is warranted. PS. You woke up like this in the morning, and posted at 5:17 pm?!  | |||

Probably not urgent, but wouldn’t hurt to check in case there’s really something in there that you haven’t detected. Are you taking blood thinners of any kind? Might be a topic to talk over with your doctor. ———- Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for thou art crunchy and taste good with catsup. | |||

Been there, done that, a few times. Looks like heck, tends to scare people. Once I confirmed that blood pressure was not out of line, simply drove on and didn’t worry about it. Don’t stress. Nothing wrong with seeing an ophthalmologist (you only get one set of eyes and you do want them to serve you well for your whole life, right?) but I’ll be shocked he or she does anything more than tell you not to worry and hand you a bill. | |||

Hey, I had the ‘Sub Hem...’ twice in the last three years or so. The last was 6 weeks ago after a snowmobile trip. I didn’t get anything in the eye, possible ‘strained’ a bit doing something. The 1st one years ago I think I swung by the doctor. He said nothing but time will cure it. My eyesight was normal during both. This 2nd time I did not go to the Doc. I did get a few over the counter eye drops to use, ‘tears’, ‘red out’ type products. These were just used to make me think I was doing something. I think they had little to no actual effect on condition. It took a good week to 10 days to get noticeable improvement. I tried avoidance as much as possible, then squinted some to hide it. This is my story, not saying you’re exactly the same. | |||

I had this happen to me 2 times in my life. First time went to a eye doctor and he said that it was normal. He said that this can happen with a simple sneeze. It will go away in about a week.

A doctor can't do much. Give you some drops is about all. It's just a hemmorage. Probably strained too hard doing something. It'll resolve in a couple days/weeks.

Yes, woke up that way but didn’t post until 5 pm. It was a busy day. I didn’t even notice it until my wife said something. Didn’t get whacked with anything. Was asleep and when I woke up it was like this. There may have been some possible strain prior to sleeping. Not taking any blood thinners. I’m in near perfect health. Cholesterol is good. Blood pressure is great. Heart rate is great. The only blood thinner I would have had was three beers throughout the course of the evening. The “lol” thread | |||
