hello,
welcome to HCM,
red dot on sclera suggestive of sub conjunctival hemorrhage, if you are able to move eye in all direction and your vision is clear then do not worry it is only due to rupture of small blood vessel of conjunctiva.
this red dot will automatically clears after some time with body healing mechanism.
it takes 15-20 days to resolve.
till that time you can take tablet limcee, and flur eye drop.
it hastens recovery, but it will take atleast 15-20 days
take care
i hope i answered your query

Hello,
Redness of the eyes following injury is very common and it can be because of subconjunctival hemorrhage commonly.
Subconjunctival hemorrhage is because of collection of blood under the conjunctiva in the subconjunctival space. It will resolve on its own but it will take 3-4 weeks.
Since your vision is clear no need to worry, you can wait for 3-4 weeks still the red dot clears.
Thank you
