Customer:
The red lines (as if broken blood vessels) seems to be slowly growing,maybe. But it now hurts when I blink. I did rub my eye carefully through my eyelid of course, when I woke in the middle of the night, after I used the eye drops. OTC preservative single-use vial.
Hello Celeste,
Sorry about the mix up with the chat.
One of the possibilities of the growing red lines in the lower part of the right eye is that of a broken blood vessel causing a tiny bleed. It is called subconjunctival hemorrhage. In this condition the tiny blood vessels in the conjunctiva ( white part of the eye) get ruptured and bleed. It can occur under various circumstances such as excessive forceful coughing/sneezing, in hypertensive individuals, in those who are on blood thinning medicines such as low dose aspirin, following subtle eye injury or without any apparent reason too. It is self healing and will disappear within a week or two . In case of any other eye symptoms such as sudden reduction of vision , watering, discharge from the eyes , do get an eye check up done. But for a sub-conjunctival hemorrhage there is no need to visit an eye specialist.You can use lubricating eye drops such as the one which you are using.
Pain is not experienced in this condition and it is more like a discomfort. However if you do notice some amount of pain , it could be due to a tiny abrasion on the cornea, which caused burning and woke you up from sleep. The treatment for this is also the same that is lubricating eye drops.
If you need more help, please use the reply tab to continue our conversation. If you do not require further assistance, kindly rate my service.
