Curing Hemorrhage In Eye

Irina Gusakova

Subconjunctival hemorrhage, or hyposphagma, or popularly simply “a vessel has burst in the eye,” is an accumulation of blood in the white sclera of the eye. To be precise, between the sclera and the conjunctiva. In addition to the obvious visual defect, physical visual discomfort (rarely), the course of the disease occurs practically asymptomatic.

Nutritionist Kostomakha told what to do in case of hemorrhage in the eye. As a conservative treatment, “Artificial tear” drops are usually prescribed, which have a lubricating and softening effect. In addition, it would be appropriate to take medications with a good dosage of vitamin C and P (rutin) to strengthen blood vessels.

This disease often manifests itself in hypertensive patients, patients suffering from hyperthyroidism, diabetes and anemia, or due to mechanical damage to the sclera of the eye or concussion, head injury. There are also frequent cases of hyposphagma due to the bite of insects, for example, midges. Also, long-term use of blood thinning drugs leads to scleral hematoma.

Considering the last point, it is strongly recommended to reduce the dosage or completely discontinue anticoagulants until the eye capillaries are restored. Allergy sufferers also often suffer from excessive lacrimation, as a result, they rub their eyes intensely and injure the fragile capillaries of the eye, which causes hemorrhage. Symptoms may include burning, a feeling of “sand in the eye,” swelling and tearing. What to do in this case?

"First of all, you need to stop vigorous activity or intense physical exercise. Water hammer, an increase in upper blood pressure leads to an eye hematoma. This also includes an increase in temperature. For example, a burst vessel is not uncommon for lovers of bath procedures. If this happens right during bathing in a bathhouse, immediately interrupt the process and leave the high-temperature area. There are often cases when long and intense work at the computer led to a capillary rupture. The eye literally cannot withstand the strain when looking for a long time at the same distance (monitor - eye). And in this case, it is important to interrupt the work process and give your eyes a rest,” the expert notes.

It would be useful to measure blood pressure and, if the readings deviate from the norm, take appropriate medications.You can also place a clean towel soaked in cold water over your closed eye. In fact, a red spot on the sclera is a version of a bruise that we can get from an injury. Within a week, both the hematoma on the eye and on any potential part of the body, for example, on the leg, should completely resolve. The difference is that the bruise “blooms” with all the colors of the rainbow when it passes. 

The hemorrhage in the eye simply decreases gradually in volume until it disappears completely. Replenish the norm of vitamin C and P as quickly as possible to restore the elasticity of blood vessels. “I do not recommend drips of vasoconstrictor drugs in order to reduce the bruise if it was blood pressure that caused the hematoma. This increases the pressure even more and provokes additional hemorrhages. If the hematoma is the result of mechanical damage, a blow or a concussion, consult a doctor immediately - an ophthalmologist for further examination,” summarizes Kostomakha.
