Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello, Welcome to Pearl.com
Are you available for chat now?
Where exactly is the redness around the right eye? When you say outside the eye does it mean it is on the skin of the eyelids?
Did you have any trauma or injury?
the red is on the right outside of the eyeball, the puple show no discolor
I was not hit
So it is the skin around the outer corner of the right eye which is red....
No not the skin the white part of the eye ball
Does it hurt ?
the left eye white part is ok,
Ok. In that case it is most likely to be due to sub-conjunctival hemorrhage.
In this condition the tiny blood vessels in the conjunctiva ( white part of the eye) get ruptured and bleed. It can occur under various circumstances such as excessive forceful coughing/sneezing, in hypertensive individuals, in those who are on blood thinning medicines such as low dose aspirin, following subtle eye injury or without any apparent reason too. It is self healing and will disappear within a week or two . In case of any other eye symptoms such as sudden reduction of vision , watering, discharge from the eyes , do get an eye check up done. But for a sub-conjunctival hemorrhage there is no need to visit an eye specialist.You can use lubricating eye drops such as preservative free Refresh tears eye drops, 1 drop 4 times a day for 2 weeks , for soothening effect( available over the counter).
someone mention it 24 hours ago but i did not know until now when i look in mirror.... what does that mean sub conjuunctival hemorrage and what casuse it
It would look pretty similar to the image shown in this link:
I am taking low dose aspirin.. and plavix but no coughing or sneezing and blood pressure under control with meds
In that case the bleed is most likely to be due to these medicines which are blood thinners or prevent clotting of blood.
That explains why the bleed occured spontaneously without any trauma or cough or sneezing.
Anyway you can just let it resolve naturally in the next few days to a week.
There is nothing to get worried about in this condition.

No, do NOT stop the aspirin just because there has been an episode of subconjunctival hemorrhage.
