Hemorrhaging

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.
