Last month on 24th Feb2020, in the morning as
usual, I was getting ready for office. When I stood in front of the mirror for
combing my hair, I saw blood like red patch inside my Left eye.
Till the time I had seen my face in the mirror, I have
no symptoms of any kind. It was little shocking and scary for me since it was looking bright red.
Immediately, I have called the
Hospital and spoke to one of the Doctors in team of nephrology dept. I have also
sent a pic of my Left Eye through Whatsapp to him for his advice.
after seeing the picture, the doctor advised me
to not to worry and said this might be happened due to forceful sneezing,
rubbing the eyes while bathing etc. So, don't need to be frightened if it is
not causing any pain or any vision changes.
He also
explained that the blood in eye due to subconjunctival hemorrhage which will be
slowly reabsorbed by the body. Most cases resolve within about seven days
without treatment. And when I asked for any medication or Eye drops, he advised nothing as there is no itching or any pain.
Then, as matter of second opinion, I have sent
the same pictures to my Company Doctor to know his opinion. He also came with
the same kind of explanation however he suggested me to take one medicine
i.e. Chymoral Forte (1-Tab
twice a day and for 3 days).
afterwards, felt a bit relaxed & lowered
the anxiety levels understanding that this wouldn't cause me to run around
different hospitals for Dr.consultations, different tests and scanning’s etc.
And then proceeded to office as usual.
A subconjunctival haemorrhage is bleeding underneath the conjunctiva. It can occur after a sudden or severe sneeze or cough, heavy lifting, straining, vomiting or even rubbing one's eyes too roughly.

after 2 weeks
from the instance, now the redness is completely absorbed, and the eye looks
normal.
