Blood clot in the white of the eye

Some friends wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and find small blood clots on the whites of their eyes. What is going on and how should they deal with it? There are two main reasons for blood clots in the whites of the eyes. One is due to body heat and the other is subconjunctival hemorrhage. However, no matter which of the above reasons causes the blood clot in the white of the eye, there is no need to worry as long as the blood clot does not expand further.

It is the hot summer now, coupled with huge pressure from work and life, which causes many people to have inflamed bodies, resulting in blood clots in the whites of their eyes. As long as you pay attention to drinking more water, eating more vegetables and fruits, try to ensure a light diet, quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to adjusting your mental state, soothing your mood, maintaining adequate sleep and a reasonable amount of exercise, the blood clots will disappear soon.

Another cause of blood clots in the white of the eye is subconjunctival hemorrhage. The surface of the human eyeball is covered with a thin membrane, which is medically called the conjunctiva. There are many capillaries in the conjunctiva, which are usually invisible. However, when inflammation occurs or arteriosclerosis caused by high blood pressure, or eye contusion caused by eye trauma, the capillaries under the conjunctiva will bleed.

The blood clots in the white of the eye caused by these situations do not require any special treatment. The blood clots will be slowly absorbed. If you want to recover faster, you can also soak a clean towel with hot water, wring it half dry, and cover your eyes with it for hot compress. This can effectively promote the absorption of the blood clots. In addition, you should also pay attention to the redness and swelling of the white of the eye caused by fungal infection, which can be treated with eye drops.

At the same time, auxiliary treatment can be carried out by supplementing vitamin C (mainly through dietary intake), which can greatly speed up the recovery of the eyes. In daily life, you must pay attention to eye hygiene and try not to rub your eyes directly with your hands. Try not to stay up late, have a reasonable schedule, ensure adequate sleep, and try to avoid excessive eye strain.
