What Is The Red Spot Moving Towards The Center Of My Eye?
Hello I am a female age 23, 5'3, 170lbs, I have no known illnesses or sicknesses besides asthma.
Sometime last week maybe Wednesday or Thursday I noticed a red spot on the whit part of my right eye. This spot was in the corner of my eye where I couldn't even see it unless I looked all the way to the left. I looked online and most things I read said this red spot was probably caused by a popped blood vessel and is harmless. However, since noticing this small spot in the corner of my eye the spot has spread closer to the center of my eyeball....Is this a normal part of the healing process like one of those things that will get worse before it gets better or should I consult a doctor? Also there is no pain or apparent vision lose associated with this issue-it's simply very physically unappealing and the fact that it is not shrinking in size but seemingly spreading is causing me to worry.

Hi
It appears to be harmless small localised conjunctival vascular congestion.
One can use naphazoline eye drops ( Andre plus eye drops e.g.) for betterment.
One should follow strict ocular hygiene.
