Hi doctor,
I have pigment dispersion syndrome for 10 years. Now I take Bimatoprost in both eyes at night. A few days back, I suffered a trauma to the eye area and as a result, I have a lot of swelling and a subconjunctival hemorrhage and the doctor carried out the funduscopic exam and it was clear. Today hemorrhage has gotten bigger and feel like my eye is discharging or weeping. Eyesight is normal. Should I get it checked?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand that you suffered a trauma to the eye. When examined, the doctor said that you have a subconjunctival hemorrhage with no damage to the retina. As of now your vision is clear but the hemorrhage has increased for two days and you are on treatment for pigment dispersion, psoriasis or ankylosing spondylitis. With this scenario, I feel that a visit to an ophthalmologist is necessary. An appearance of increasing redness of your eyes could be due to both the congestion of the eye or due to an increasing hemorrhage. The fact that you have discharge from your eyes suggests that an infection could have developed. This is quite a common occurrence after an injury. I advise you to avoid rubbing your eyes, wash the discharge away with cold clean water and review with your doctor.
