What Causes Blood Clot In The Eye?
Question: I have what looks like blood on the white part of my eye. I am able to see but it looks like it is starting to cover a larger area. Can you explain
Brief Answer:
From minor bleeding!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this blood clot that you have reported. This is not uncommon among clients and often caused by minor trauma that is not always noticed. If your vision is okay and there is no pain, I will recommend that you monitor as most cases would resolve spontaneous without the need of any specific medical treatment. However, if you are in pain, poor vision or it increases significantly in size, then I will suggest that you get the eyes evaluated by an ophthalmologist.
In all, a minor blood clot. Often represents no danger unless concerning signs of pain, poor vision or rapid spread set in. I recommend monitoring for now and optimistic for a spontaneous resolution unless otherwise.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
