Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Do Brown Streaks In The Right Eye Need Immediate Medical Attention?
I am seeing floating brown streaks in my right eye. They seem to be inside the eye itself. If I move my eye quickly, they float up, then drift back down when my eye is not moving. The streaks have started to break up into tiny brown dots. I think they are blood cells, and I think the streaks may be blood floating inside my eye. Is this possible? Is this an emergency? What should I do?
Associated symptoms as burning, irritation or eye watering can be part of inflammation underlying and in absence of above, there may be high intra occular pressure or other issues raising the retinal vessel blood pressure. Rather than in remaining dilemma, kindly consult your primary care physician for best proceedings. Till that time, do splashing of eye with cold water for 5 minutes each every 4 hourly period.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
