What Causes Red Discoloration In The Eyes?
Question: My right eye is completely blood shot. Does not seem to affect vision nor does it hurt but it's scary.
Brief Answer:
Considerations.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the query.
It sounds like you may have ruptured a small blood vessel in your eye. This can happen sometimes from sneezing, coughing or even straining.
Usually, this is a self-limited issue - meaning that it will slowly resolve over time without intervention. This will likely take about 2 weeks.
If you develop any vision changes, headaches, dizziness or nausea then you should go to your doctor as soon as possible for a thorough evaluation.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Sincerely,
Dr Galamaga
