Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hi..
Thanks for choosing HCM for query.
There could have been a bleeding in the eye which is possible after an epidural injection because of raised intra cranial pressure.
The hemorrhage is usually self limiting but slow..
You can keep consulting your ophthalmologist for follow up.
Can you elaborate on the part of 'anterior injection'? It's not very clear. Is it for the blood in the eye or for your neck pain?
Injection into the eye can be given to hasten resorption of hemorrhage but not in all cases..
Take care. I am available for further queries..
