Aurora 01-03-2004, 05:49 AM It takes time for the blood cells to degrade so it can take some time for a subconjunctival haemorrhage to go away. (I'm english so we spell it differently) Did you have it confirmed with an optometrist that it is actually that? Also what caused it? Have you had your pressures checked? And has it got any worse or any better? Aurora Belle2003 01-03-2004, 01:48 PM I have had it since around November 24. I have been to the doctor twice. My eye pressure is fine. He did some blood tests to see if I have something else wrong that could be causing this. He did ask if I had high blood pressure. I have never been diagnosed with high blood pressure. I went to the local pharmacy and used their blood pressure monitoring machine and it said that I had 143/79. I don't know if this would cause the hemmorage, but I would love for it to go away. The blood spot is under my iris. It will get larger and then the next day it will lessen, but it never gets smaller where it looks like it is going away. I had a cornea transplant in January of 2003, and I thought that it was related, but the doctor says that is not. I was hoping that someone else has experienced this and could give me some ideas. I have been under a lot of stress with health and family issues. Could this affect my eye? Aurora 01-03-2004, 03:23 PM Subconjunctival haemorrhages are most common in people suffering from diabetes, hypertension, bleeding disorders, and those who take aspirin on a regular basis. However, in some cases it can be a sign of a problem following eye surgery. It is very rare for a rejection of a transplanted cornea, but it can happen, and can present itself by blood loss between the cornea and the conjunctiva. It is not usual for a subconjunctival haemorrhage to last this long if it is spontaneous caused by vomiting, heavy lifting, or coughing. A subconjunctival haemorrhage should start to get better within three weeks and will change colour, as with any bruising. Make an appointment with your ophthalmologist, it needs a second opinion. Good Luck, Aurora |
