Suggest Treatment For Eye Injury
Please consult ophthalmologist to look for any tiny foreign body or injury
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Sorry to hear about your eye injury and hope its not painful.
Appearance of a red spot in the eye after getting poked by an object like a Christmas tree branch might lead to subconjunctival hemorrhage. This happens due to break of small blood vessels in the white part of the eye. The bleed is not absorbed quickly and might take some days to resolve. Isolated subconjunctival hemorrhage requires no specific treatment and heals in 2 weeks time. A subconjunctival hemorrhage changes colors and will fade from often red to orange to yellow over days.
Patients often report a scratchy feeling in the eye and using eye drops like artificial tears gives relief.
Its always better to get checked up for any tiny foreign body and injury to the surface of the eye and application of antibiotics drops after consultation with an ophthalmologist.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Wish you quick recovery and Merry Christmas.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
