Eye bleeding

Monday, 03 March 2025

Eye bleeding is defined as the presence of blood in any part of the eye and can manifest itself in different ways and with varying levels of severity. In its most common presentation, subconjunctival hemorrhage, the accumulation of blood is observed under the conjunctiva, the thin membrane that covers the white part of the eye. Although its appearance may be alarming, this type of bleeding is generally benign and tends to resolve on its own in a few days or weeks without the need for invasive medical treatment. However, when the bleeding is located in other structures or in greater quantity, such as in the vitreous or retina, the situation becomes more complex and can significantly affect vision.
