Injured left eye with red spot and pain. Treatment?

Question

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 a subconjunctival bleed that is not harmful. It will take another week 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.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

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., the 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.

The 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 an HD screen or retina display starts. Refresh tears (Carboxymethyl cellulose) eye drops six times a day regularly.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
