Hello
Welcome to health care magic
I am Dr Dadapeer K an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
It seems from the history that you have undergone cataract surgery recently and following surgery you are having bleeding from the eye.
Bleeding from the eye following cataract surgery is uncommon but still we come across few cases with bleeding and collection of blood inside the eye in the anterior chamber, part between cornea and lens and it is called as hyphema. Most of the time it is self resolving condition and it get absorbed over 2-4 weeks. However for more severe cases second surgery in the form of anterior chamber wash is required.
If the bleeding is from the incision site then it may require cautery to prevent bleeding.
Sometimes and more commonly we see collection of blood outdide the eye under conjunctiva near the incision site called as subconjuncyival hemorrhage and it is very common condition and it will resolve over 2-4 weeks and no treatment is required.
Hence I need to know to which type your bleeding belongs to, whether it is bleefing into the eye or outside the eye. So please answer the following questions so that I can answer you more accurately.
Mention the date of surgery
Vision in the operated eye
Bleeding is outside or inside the eye
If possible do send a photo of the eye
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
