Infant. Minor Bleeding And Swelling In Eye. History Of Hit In Eye While Playing Followed By Minor Scratch. Serious?
Hi, my 1 year old daughter hit her eye while playing she had a scratch on the corner of her eye (right where the buttom of the eye and the eyelid meets). She had a very minor bleeding and swelling. She doesn't have any redness or leak in the eye. I took her to eye ER and the doctors said she is fine but I am still worried about her vision. Do you think her vision will be effected?

Hello,
It seems from the history that your daughter is having subconjunctival hemorrhage following injury. Subconjunctival hemorrhage is self limiting condition and it gets completely absorbed by 3-4 weeks. It does not require treatment.
However it is better to get the child examined by a ophthalmologist to rule out any injury to the inside of the eye.
Thank you
