What Causes Blood In The Eyes?
Question: I have blood in my eye. Just appeared.
Brief Answer:
Provisional diagnosis: Conjunctival hemorrhage
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concerns,
Sudden onset redness in the eye without any other associated symptoms is most likely suggestive of conjunctival hemorrhage, which is bleeding in the conjunctival layer.
Placid can cause a decrease in platelet count which increases bleeding risk.
The conjunctival hemorrhage will reabsorb on its own. However, I'd recommend that you undergo complete blood count analysis to assess the WBC, RBC and platelets count in blood. Mild decrease in platelet count does not need any treatment. However, a substantial reduction in platelet count increases bleeding risk and require platelet transfusion.
