Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having blood shot eye secondary to subconjunctival hemorrhage.
This is because of bleeding from a blood vessel into the subconjunctival space.
This alone does not require treatment, this will resolve by 1-2 weeks as the blood gets absorbed slowly.
Hence no need to worry, this will resolve.

Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and advice accordingly.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
