Does Vitreous Humor Surgery Causes Bleeding In The Eye When Nose Blown?
My husband (diabetic) recently had eye surgery for removal of vitreous humur (age-related), and then suffered a scratch the cornea. He has been receiving tx(eye drops) for this. He blew his nose this morning, and his eye bled.
This happened last week, and we assumed it had to do with the scratch on his eyeball, but now we are wondering if it is something else. He also has Schoegren's disease.

Hello
It seems from the history that your husband is operated for vitrectomy for diabetic retinopathy.
It seems he has blown the nose forcefully following which he his having eye bleed. This is because of sudden raise of the pressure as a result of blowing of nose.
If the bleed is minor it will be absorbed and no complications will occur but if it is a major bleeding it may require surgery again.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
