Hello,

It can be due to subconjunctival hemorrhage secondary to blood thinners. Consult an ophthalmologist and get evaluated. A slit lamp examination is required to make a diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
