Product Information

Even if your eye feels fine and your vision seems OK, see an eye doctor immediately if you have eye trauma that could cause a hyphema. Blepharospasm ranges from an increased blink frequency with occasional spasms to a disabling and painful condition that can interrupt vision. The appearance of red eye can vary widely. It can look like there are several squiggly pink or red lines on the sclera or the entire sclera may appear diffusely pink or red.

It is thought to affect 5 per 100,000 people, women more commonly than men. It is more common with advancing age and typically develops in the sixth decade.

Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, is a very common and very contagious eye condition in children and adults. Cone cells are the second type of light sensitive cells in the retina of the eye. The human retina contains between six and seven million cones; they function best in bright light and are essential for acute vision (receiving a sharp accurate image). It is thought that there are three types of cones, each sensitive to the wavelength of a different primary colour – red, green or blue. Other colours are seen as combinations of these primary colours. Choroid: the middle layer of the eye between the retina and the sclera. It also contains a pigment that absorbs excess light so preventing blurring of vision.

Wearing dark glasses can reduce bright light triggers and make the condition less obvious to others. Wrap-around glasses are most protective. The blood can appear in the whites of the eyes. The effect can look dramatic, but the symptoms are generally painless. Also, SCH is not harmful. A pool of blood has collected right underneath the clear layer of the eye, and it shows up as completely red, like the surface of a tomato,” says Dr. Witsberger. The blepharospasm mainly referred to here is called benign essential blepharospasm (BEB). How common is blepharospasm? Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea, which is the middle part of the eye. The most common form of uveitis is called iritis, and it affects only the iris (colored part of the eye). Without prompt treatment, uveitis can lead to vision loss.Red eyes, also called bloodshot eyes, are usually due to swollen or dilated blood vessels on the eye's surface. Most people experience eye redness at some point. Typically, it’s nothing serious.

Iris. The colored part of the eye. The iris is partly responsible for regulating the amount of light permitted to enter the eye. The best way to avoid a traumatic hyphema is to wear safety glasses or other protective eyewear whenever you are involved in potentially hazardous activities. Grade 0 (microhyphema): No visible pooling of blood, but red blood cells can be seen within the anterior chamber upon microscopic examination. Sheppard AL, Wolffsohn JS.

Hyphema Treatment

A first-time subconjunctival hemorrhage generally merits a call or visit to the doctor. Recurrent incidents or a bloody eye accompanied by unfamiliar symptoms? Definitely call an eye doctor. Odds are you have a subconjunctival hemorrhage, or burst blood vessel. Predominantly caused by a minor injury or strain, a subconjunctival hemorrhage that isn’t recurrent or persistent is almost always harmless, even if it doesn’t look that way. Optic nerve: leaves the eye at the optic disc and transfers all the visual information to the brain.

Over-the-counter medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and natural supplements can also thin blood. Let your doctor know if you’re taking any of these: Eye pain, sensitivity to light and headache are especially likely to occur if a hyphema is causing increased intraocular pressure (IOP). What Causes Bleeding In The Eye? A hyphema is bleeding or a broken blood vessel inside the eye that causes blood to collect in the anterior chamber of the eye — the space between the cornea and the iris that's normally filled with a clear liquid called the aqueous humor. There are two categories of SCH: traumatic and spontaneous. Traumatic SCH can occur due to local mild trauma, such as rubbing the eye. Spontaneous SCH is due to a medical condition, such as hypertension or diabetes. These conditions can cause blood vessels to become fragile and rupture.Cornea: the transparent circular part of the front of the eyeball. It refracts the light entering the eye onto the lens, which then focuses it onto the retina. The cornea contains no blood vessels and is extremely sensitive to pain.
