What Causes Sharp Pain In Eye?

I was just sitting in a meeting and felt a sharp pain in my right eye. I took my glasses off and rubbed my eye thinking I had an eyelash in it. After the meeting, a co-worker asked what happened to my eye as it was all bloody. I looked in a mirror and it appears I burst a blood vessel. question, should I be concerned about the sharp pain and spontaneous blood vessel burst? I wasn t doing anything at the time to cause increased pressure or strain.

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
sudden development of redness is most likely allergic. confirm whether itching is present or otherwise. spontaneous rupture of blood vessel does not give red eye like this. there will be hemorrhagic spot in that case. now take levocetrizine 5mg tablet daily. only negative point is one eye is effected. pain to start with. this indicate a foreign body which was rubbed and caused the injury. get your eye examined by eye doctor and diagnose the cause of redness. should look for FB if found can be removed. even injury mark can be identified.can apply neosporine eye ointment.

it appears to be allergic phenomena. start taking levocetrizine 5 mg tablet and cromal eye drop may be applied 3 times daily. in case of burst blood vessel the redness will be localized.
