  • Eye Problem

    This appears to be a subconjunctival hemorrhage, or broken blood vessel. It may be due to heavy lifting, straining, or coughing. Elevated blood pressure may also cause a subconjunctival hemorrhage. It will dissipate in a week or so. You may use preservative free artificial tears as needed. If you have any vision changes or discomfort of the eyes, please see a local eye care practitioner. READ MORE
