Question

i have a bright spot of blood on the white part of my eye how serrious is this? it does not hurt

Answer 1

Adding to the previous answer...Did you have a coughing or throw up spell? Or did you experience any facial pressure akin to strangulation?

Answer 2

I get those sometimes. Its not very serious, if you can see clearly and it doesnt hurt, don't worry about it. Sometimes it happens when you don't get enough sleep.

Answer 3

its just a bllod vessial that burst in ur eye it will heal in a bout a moth or so but go see a dctor about this.

Answer 4

It's a subconjunctival hemorrhage, small blood vessels under the surface rupture, even with something as little as a strong cough...you can google it if you're interested

They resolve spontaneously without assistance...avoid stuff that will irritate your eyes, avoid taking asprin/warfarin/advil as it may worsten it, and see your physician if it is getting worse or you're havin any changes in vision

Answer 5

It's just a burst blood vessel. It should clear up in a few weeks. I had a cornea transplant and had a few burst blood vessels. They took a little bit longer to clear up, but they did and I was fine! It looks a lot worse than it actually is.... If it gets worse (which it shouldn't) call an opthomologist.

Answer 6

Had a patient just like that a couple of years ago-- too bad- dead.

Seriously, it is nothing to be concerned about. If it keeps happening, or you start getting nosebleeds, or excessive bleeding elsewhere, get checked.  I don't know your gender.
