Visual Signs That You Actually Have Health Problems

Bloodshot Eyes

We all get bloodshot eyes at some point, often after a late night or a few drinks too many. It isn’t usually a major concern but you should get it checked if your eyes are sore or you have impaired vision at the same time, as it could be the sign of an underlying health problem.

Sometimes, a bright red spot, called a sub conjunctival hemorrhage, will appear on the white of the eye. This often happens after straining or coughing, which causes a broken blood vessel on the surface of the eye.

Most often, there is no pain andyour vision is normal. It is almost never a serious problem. Because the blood leaks into the conjunctiva, which is clear, you cannot wipe or rinse the blood away. Like a bruise, the red spot will go away within a week or two.
