The most common causes of a red spot on the eye

The most common cause of red spot formation on the eye is subconjunctival hemorrhage (stromal), i.e. rupture of blood vessels, which can occur even as a result of heavy sneezing, coughing, vomiting or during labor. Then the bloody spot on the eye does not indicate serious health problems, and getting rid of it only requires rest and a moment of patience. What else could be the cause of this ailment?

1. Eye damage – frequent rubbing of the eyes or a foreign body that gets into them are one of the more common causes of red spots on the eye. If we deal with such hazards on a daily basis (e.g. at the workplace), it is worth using safety accessories, e.g. safety glasses, which will reduce the risk of eye damage;
2. krwistek – the red spot in the eye, called a blood cell, is not an ordinary stromal hemorrhage, as it occurs with other distressing ailments such as eye pain and photosensitivity;
3. Dirt under contact lenses – wearing contact lenses often leads to irritation of the conjunctiva. When putting on lenses, it is easy for dirt or small elements to get into the eye, which under the lens often cause discomfort, pain and burning, and then reddening of the conjunctiva;
4. Taking certain medications Medicines that thin the blood (e.g. aspirin) may cause the blood cells to break more quickly and form a red spot on the eye;
5. Blood clotting problems – a bloody spot on the eye is more common in people struggling with profuse, difficult to stop hemorrhages, resulting, among others, from from hemophilia or dangerous von Willebrand’s disease (tendency to heavy bleeding, which may eventually result in death);
6. Diabetic retinopathy – a fairly rare but real reason for the appearance of a bloody spot on the eye. Diabetic retinopathy is one of the possible complications of diabetes, which results in damage to the blood vessels of the eye. In addition to the red spot, the person then experiences vision problems, which may result in the detachment of the retina and complete loss of vision.

As an aid to eyesight and microdamages of the retina, it is worth using Blueberry with lutein + for eyesight. The preparation is available in packages of 90 capsules and can be conveniently purchased on Medonet Market.

What symptoms of a red spot on the eye should cause anxiety?

If the bloody spot on the eye does not disappear after 14 days or coexists with other bothering symptoms, we should go to a specialist without delay. Specific symptoms that should not be underestimated include deterioration of vision, the impression of a “blurry image” or oozing discharge. Other ailments that should prompt you to see a doctor are: swelling, persistent pain and discomfort, the feeling of having a foreign body in the eye, and frequent recurrence of the problem without known medical reasons.
