burst blood vessel in eye?

[indysteel]

When my eye looked like a blood vessel had burst, I had a scratched cornea. Of course, I also had a severe headache. I think it's wise that you're being seen. I error on the side of caution when it comes to my eyes.

this one time, a guy friend of mine was um...how do i put this...spending some quality time alone. apparently it was some very good quality time. afterwards, he looked in the mirror and, wtf? his eyeball had a giant burst vessel.

thinking he might be having a stroke, he dialed 911. once the paramedics got there, he had to explain exactly what he was doing. the medics assured him he was fine, and that this was somewhat common. d'oh.

that's my broken blood vessel in the eye story. hope you enjoyed it.

I bet the paramedics are still chuckling over it...

My sister has been in Tx for cancer for the last 4 years. One time she had one of her many appointments with her oncologist and she had one of those too. Every person we met up with leading up to seeing the doctor, had a very grave 'oh my what happened' sort of reaction to it. Now I'd rather they over react than under when it comes to her, but she just kept having to repeat over and over, nothing, woke up with it, who knows what I did.

We are in the exam room, oncologist walks in, big broken blood vessel in his eye, he just looks at her and says "you too, huh?" They both compared the fact that they didn't do anything that may have cause d it and we moved on. It at least gave us all a good laugh at the oncologist, and that is never a bad thing.

A woman at work told me that it happened to her once when she decided to try purging to lose weight.
My conclusion = burst blood vessel in eye leads to over sharing.

Mine is just a burst eye vessel. The only minor concern (besides the diabetes) is that I have absolutely no idea what caused it. Anyway, no exercise for a few days, and as long as it doesn't happen habitually, no problem.

I bet he wondered if it does, in fact, make you blind...

Blood on outside of eyeball- it's usually OK.

Blood inside eyeball (and you WON'T see that) which is suddenly a lot of black floaters in your vision, part of your vision gone, large cloudy bits in your vision, bright flashes, basically anything that causes your vision to change- BAD. That's your retina haemoragging or your retina detaching.

I did a series of short, not very high level plane flights over a couple of days and I ended up with a lovely red spot on my eyeball too!
