Question : Eye blood covered half of the white of my right eye.

Answered by Dr. N K Mishra (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Subconjunctival hemorrhage

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.

This is a small leakage which occurred due to blood thinning medication. This generally takes a week to resolve on its own, but in your case, it may take longer.

Though this hemorrhage is inconsequential, as it will resolve, but you should report this to the prescribing doctor if they want to change the drug or modify dosage.

Any further query in this regard, do get back to me.

Best wishes
