Hello doctor,
A week ago, I slightly injured the white area of the left eye. A small red spot developed on the eye with some pain. Now that red spot gets pale but the pain is still there. Please suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Mostly it is sub conjunctival bleed that is not harmful. It will take a week more to settle down. Start Nepafenac eye drop twice daily for three days then taper it to one time a day for the next three days then stop.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
Please find the pictures attached. There is swelling around the eye. The pain increases when I look at the computer screen for my office work.Is it advisable to work on the computer as I need to work again? I was working last whole week keeping the injured eye closed with a sleeping band but the pain increased.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I have seen the pictures. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The eye drop I have told you is the generic name i.e. salt name itself is Nepafenac. The bleed is almost absorbed you do not have to worry about it. However, I will tell you some points for you to cope with computer work. Work in a well lit environment. Main light should come from behind your head. Every 20 minutes remove your eyes from the screen for 20 seconds and see a very distant object. Every 45 minutes take five minutes break. Make a rule whenever you press space or enter blink your eye. Work on a HD screen or retina display start. Refresh tears (Carboxymethyl cellulose) eye drops six times a day regularly. I hope this helps.
