eye blood clot treatment at home - #19035

Aayan

I am struggling with this weird issue in my eye, and I’m honestly a little freaked out about it. A few days ago, I noticed this strange blur and some redness, couldn’t figure out what it was. I didn’t think much of it at first, but then my friend said maybe it’s an eye blood clot? I went to the eye doctor and they mentioned something about it possibly being that, but they weren’t super clear about treatment options. I felt like I left with more questions than answers. They gave me some drops, but I’m wondering if there are any ways for eye blood clot treatment at home? Like, are there any home remedies or things I could do to help this? It’s not painful but really annoying, and it’s hard to focus on anything too long. I keep reading mixed stuff online about eye blood clot treatment at home, and some say rest and warm compresses might help, while others think that’s totally the wrong approach. What’s the deal? Anyone been through this? How do you even deal with eye blood clot treatment at home effectively? I just want to make sure I’m not making it worse, you know?

It sounds like you’re dealing with a condition called a subconjunctival hemorrhage, which might be what people casually refer to as an “eye blood clot.” This usually appears as a red patch on the white of the eye and is typically harmless and not much to worry about. It’s often caused by sudden increases in blood pressure from things like coughing or sneezing. While it’s understandable you want to explore at-home treatments, it’s important to know that most of the time, this condition doesn’t need medical treatment and tends to resolve on its own within two weeks. However, if you notice changes in vision, pain, or increased redness, it’s crucial to follow up with your eye doctor to ensure it’s not something more serious.

At home, what you can do to potentially aid comfort and healing is use artificial tears or lubricating eye drops as recommended by your doctor. These help keep the eye moist and might ease any discomfort. Applying a warm compress to the eye for a few minutes a day can also provide relief. Contrary to some online advice, it’s generally best to avoid using medications like aspirin or NSAIDs for pain relief as they can sometimes exacerbate bleeding. Being gentle with your eyes, avoiding rubbing them, and trying to maintain normal blood pressure will aid in recovery. Lastly, manage any underlying risk factors such as hypertension or diabetes to prevent future events. The key here is patience and allowing the body time to absorb the blood naturally.
