I really think this is nothing, but it looks dreadful. I apparently having a broken blood vessel in my eye. As many of you know, I am on massive amounts of coumadin because I have Hughe's Syndrome and have had heart-valve replacement surgery. The thing is, on my right eye, the outer half from the iris back is solid blood. I don't mean my eye is bleeding or anything like that, it is just solid blood in the eye (bright red and looks awaful). It doesn't hurt and I am seeing OK. The funny thing is it was there when I woke up this morning. I don't know what I could have done in my sleep.

It will go away eventually I think> Of course I have had a bruise on my arm for four weeks and it has gone away slowly.

Just to clarify, being on the blood thinners I bruise if I even bruch against something. It just hasn't happened before in my eye and I am a little weirded out about it.

I'm thinking watch it for a few days and see if it gets better or worse. Am I being a worrykins here over nothing?

BTW, I don't want to go to the doctor. I would have to take time off work and they never seem to tell me anything good.
