What should I do if I have a red blood vessel in my sclera?
When red blood vessels appear in the white part of the eye due to conjunctivitis, antibiotic eye drops are needed. Additionally, cold compresses can be applied, and attention should be paid to resting the eyes. If the condition is caused by excessive fatigue, it can be alleviated through rest. There are many reasons for red blood vessels in the white part of the eye, including insufficient sleep and conjunctivitis. It is important to use the eyes reasonably and maintain eye hygiene. The treatment method for red blood vessels in the white part of the eye depends on the underlying cause:
1. Insufficient Sleep: Prolonged use of electronic devices or long working and study hours can cause insufficient rest for the eyes, resulting in red blood vessels in the conjunctiva. In this case, anti-fatigue treatment should be administered, and paying more attention to resting the eyes can alleviate the red blood vessels.
2. Conjunctivitis: To treat red blood vessels caused by conjunctivitis, it is essential to maintain eye hygiene, avoid rubbing the eyes, and prevent dirty water from entering the eyes. Antibiotic eye drops should be used for treatment, commonly including chloramphenicol eye drops, lomefloxacin eye drops, and tobramycin eye drops.
3. Allergic Factors: For red blood vessels caused by allergic factors, cold compresses with ice towels and anti-allergy eye drops should be used for treatment. Currently, commonly used anti-allergy eye drops include olopatadine hydrochloride eye drops, emedastine difumarate eye drops, and azelastine hydrochloride eye drops.
