I appear to have this in one eye. I only noticed it on Saturday afternoon and gave myself a bit of a fright cause I had no idea what it was.
I googled (obviously after I decided I had a brain tumour and planned my funeral in my head in the space of about twenty seconds)  and it says it takes between one and two weeks to disappear. Only it seems to be getting more bloodshot rather than less so... has anyone had this before?  |

"I sort of understand the words, but nothing could induce me to google in case an image crops up. (or rather  I guess).
But I hope it clears soon"
It's when you burst a blood vessel in your eye. The white bit goes all bloodshot. Some of the pics are pretty gross. It almost looks like it's bruised, there's a purple shadow under the red bit and the bits that are white look a bit yellow. I'm just trying to figure out if that's normal.
I might dive into the opticians tomorrow... bet they'd know if I'm dying. Today I googled if you're still allowed to drive with one eye! Haha... drama lhama! |

Please see your doc about your eyes - it could be an infection easily passed on to others.
Scaremongering yourself using the web is not a good idea and doctors generally would only advise using patient.co.uk or other UK sites we use at work [NHS] and is/are most reliable.
Eyes are very delicate and you would be surprised at the various conditions/ailments that affect eyes.  |

Yes, I have had this. I had it in both eyes after I got nailed in the face/eyes during a particularly bad skiing accident.
The red in my eyes stuck around for about 2 weeks. It did turn funny colors, including a slight yellow tinge. I went to the doctor and he told me all about it. I can't remember whether he gave me anything for it (but I don't think so).
You're just gunna look like a freak for a while. I hope you have a cute pair of sunglasses

It was the NHS website I looked at and decided to bury my head in the sand cause it mentioned Iritis and my Mum's had that and they injected her eyeball! Freaked me out sufficiently. |

Much prefer the freaky look than the self diagnosis option.  |
