Why is there a blood patch on my eye?!


Question: Why is there a blood patch on my eye!?
I have gastroenteritis (gastric flu), and a cold!. I was also told about a year ago by my optician that my pupils are different sizes!. The blood patch is above my iris and is only visible if i lift my eyelid (i discovered it whilst applying my mascara)!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It could be an area of redness- swollen blood vessels, but it sounds like a haemorrhage!.
Don't panic! The blood vessels in the eye are very small and delicate and occasionally burst and bleed which is called an haemorrhage!.
There is a clear layer over the eye so the blood is sandwiched between the white and the clear layers so looks a lot worse than it is!.
It is often caused by straining, like sneezing!. But if it keeps reoccurring then I would get your blood pressure checked as high blood pressure can cause this too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

How long has the red patch been there!? If it is recent it is probably some popped blood vessels, this can happen if they eye takes too much pressure from a punch or rubbing!. It can also happen if you scratch your eyeball!. I have had it happen to me about 10 - 13 times from hockey pucks and punches!. My eyes are still great and the bruise goes away!. It took around two weeksWww@Answer-Health@Com

because it's blood shot!. Caused by not enough sleepWww@Answer-Health@Com
