In this video, Dr. Swathi A. R, senior consultant at Shekar Eye Hospital, talks about eye spills. Eye spills is medically termed subconjunctival hemorrhage. A subconjunctival hemorrhage is the accumulation of blood between the transparent membrane covering the white of the eye, or sclera. Generally, it is spontaneous, but sometimes it can be traumatic. Spontaneous is the most common cause and is commonly seen in the elderly group. This happens when the pressure within the blood vessels shoots up. Patients with diabetes, hypertension and cholesterolemia are at increased risk of developing subconjunctival hemorrhage. Trauma can range from as minor as vigorously rubbing your eyes to as serious as post-injury in and around the eyes and post-eye surgery. They are asymptomatic most of the time unless it is associated with an injury. Symptoms can range from tiny spots to the entire white of the eye appearing red.
