Is it possible to cure the injured part of my eye completely?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Recently, I had a bit of blunt trauma in my right eye. Now it appears as if I have a pooped blood vessel. The bone beneath my right eye hurts when any palpating pressure is applied to it. Between my cornea and pupil, I can see a pool of blood. My eye does not hurt and my vision is fine. My concern is mostly cosmetic. I have not tried to treat it or investigate it further. But now I am worried that I cannot see any changes on it. Is there any other way to make the injured part of my eye completely white again?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have a sub-conjunctival hemorrhage. A small blood vessel bleeds and then a blood clot is formed. This clot will get resorbed on its own and it takes around one or two weeks to go away. This does not require any specific treatment. You can consult a local ophthalmologist as certain manifestations of trauma like retinal tear can occur and they remain completely asymptomatic to begin.

The Probable causes

You have trauma.

Investigations to be done

You need a retina examination.

Treatment plan

You can use lubricating drops and vitamin C.
