Blood Vessels Keep Popping In My Eye For No Reason?! Why?!


Question: Blood Vessels Keep Popping In My Eye For No Reason?! Why?
In the past month or 2, I've had 3 Blood vessels pop in my eye for no reason, I went to the eye doctor for the last one and she said if it keeps happening for no reason then I will have to get my blood tested.. What could this be?

Answers:

When this happens, we always reassure the patient that this is not a threat to the eyes. However when it happens a lot, it could be a symptom of a systemic (whole body) kind of problem. The kind of things we would worry about are more fragile than normal blood vessels or blood that is too thin or does not clot properly. Do you bruise easily? If so that would be another red flag for these kind of problems.

When you say "pop in your eye" do you mean inside or on the sclera?

Also, are you diabetic or have high blood pressure? Because both of those can contribute to hemorrhages of the tiny vessels.



This could be from straining your eyes
Are you reading, going on the computer or watching tv excessively?
I know that happened to me and it was from too much reading
best of luck



Are you stressed out?
