Hello,
Yesterday I woke up with a bad subconjunctival hemorrhage - it looked so scary that I went to the hospital to get advice. I was told that it was harmless and would clear up in a few weeks.
I'm a bit worried that it's such a bad case this clearup won't happen and I'll be left with a permanently red eye.
To give you an idea - it's worse than the pic shown on ...

... the blood covers 100% of the white and there's quite an extensive raised area (presumably a 'bag of blood') which means I get discomfort when I blink.
I've had the occasional minor eye-bleed (frequency twice a year) in the past, but these have cleared up in a couple of days - this is a major blow-out in comparison.
I travelled by air the day before it happened and I wonder if this could have been a factor?
I also wonder if anyone has seen a really bad hemorrhage and how long it could take to recover?
Many thanks for any advice, comments or thoughts.
