A common condition caused by trauma to the eye.
Following the trauma, the eye appears bloody.
The entire view of the sclera (the white part
of the eye) may be obstructed by blood. The trauma
may be caused by hypertension, heavy lifting,
a blunt hit, coughing, straining, or even high
fever. Sometimes they occur for no apparent reason.
There is no treatment required. Your doctor may
recommend artificial tear drops if mild irritation
is present.
