• #1 Subconjunctival hemorrhage: risk factors and potential indicators

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3702240/

  Subconjunctival hemorrhage is a benign disorder that is a common cause of acute ocular redness. The major risk factors include trauma and contact lens usage in younger patients, whereas among the elderly, systemic vascular diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and arteriosclerosis are more common. […] The incidence of SCH was reported as 2.9% in a study with 8726 patients, and increase with age was observed, particularly over 50 years of age. […] It is thought that this significant increase depends on the increase of prevalence of systemic hypertension after the age of 50 years; also, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and the use of anticoagulation therapy becomes more frequent with aging. […] The relationship between age, local trauma, and systemic hypertension was assessed, and it was demonstrated that hypertension was seen more often in patients older than 50 years; however, local trauma was an important cause in all age-groups.

  A subconjunctival hemorrhage (sub-kun-JUNK-tih-vul HEM-uh-ruj) occurs when a tiny blood vessel breaks just underneath the clear surface of your eye (conjunctiva). […] A subconjunctival hemorrhage often occurs without any obvious harm to your eye. Even a strong sneeze or cough can cause a blood vessel to break in the eye. […] The cause of a subconjunctival hemorrhage isn’t always known. The following actions may cause a small blood vessel to rupture in your eye: […] Risk factors for a subconjunctival hemorrhage include: […] Health complications from a subconjunctival hemorrhage are rare. […] If the bleeding on the surface of your eye has a clearly identifiable cause, such as a bleeding disorder or blood-thinning medication, ask your doctor if you can take any steps to reduce the risk of a subconjunctival hemorrhage.

• #5 What Causes Eye Blood Vessels to Break? | Kelowna, BC

  https://tutteyes.ca/what-causes-eye-blood-vessels-to-break/

  A subconjunctival hemorrhage is one of the many possible diagnoses for a sudden-onset red spot on the white of your eye. It happens when a tiny blood vessel breaks just beneath the clear surface of the eye. […] Broken blood vessels in the eye can occur for various reasons, such as sudden increases in pressure from sneezing, coughing, or lifting heavy objects, as well as eye rubbing, trauma, certain medical conditions, medications, and environmental or lifestyle factors, especially those factors which cause dry eye. […] Certain medical conditions can make blood vessels in the eyes more prone to breaking. High blood pressure, for instance, can put stress on the vascular system, including the tiny vessels in your eyes. Similarly, blood-clotting disorders, and conditions that thin the blood may make it easier for these vessels to rupture.

  Subconjunctival hemorrhage (SCH) is a common ocular complaint that most clinicians will see in their practice. […] SCHs, in general, do not have any gender discrepancy. However, traumatic SCH was shown to be more prevalent in young males, most likely related to performing heavy work and a tendency to do more aggressive activities. The rate of spontaneous vs traumatic varies depending on the population characteristics themselves. One study showed the incidence rate of non-traumatic SCH to be higher in women, with a men-to-women ratio of 0.8. It is widely agreed that spontaneous SCH increases with age, especially after 50. This is due to the higher probability of comorbidities such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. According to 1 study, there is also an increased incidence of SCH in the summer; however, this may be secondary to children presenting more often during summer vacation.

• #9 A Well-Red Patient

  https://www.reviewofoptometry.com/article/a-wellred-patient

  Most cases of SCH in patients over 60 years of age are associated with small-vessel disease, primarily hypertension and diabetes. Hypertension causes increased pressure on arterial and venous walls making them more prone to structural damage, while diabetes induces macrovessel dilation and capillary dropout. A hallmark of these diseases is vascular leakage in end-organs, such as the eye. […] The etiologic factors underlying SCH may be reflected in its presentation, although individual variations certainly may occur. A prospective study of 151 consecutive patients with SCH reached the following conclusions: (1) Traumatic SCH had a smaller extent compared with SCH related to hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia or those designated as idiopathic; (2) the extent of SCH was greater in older patients (60 years), especially those who had previously undergone cataract surgery; and (3) overall, SCH was significantly more common in the inferior areas than the superior areas, but in patients with SCH secondary to trauma or diabetes, the temporal areas were affected more often than the nasal areas.

  A subconjunctival hemorrhage in a newborn is a burst blood vessel in the white of the eye. […] Subconjunctival hemorrhages are somewhat common and can happen to people of all ages. […] Although they can happen to people of all ages, it is common for newborns to get subconjunctival hemorrhages. Their occurrence is common in infants due to stressful and traumatic deliveries. […] Pressure put on the infant by labor contractions and delivery often causes subconjunctival hemorrhages in newborns because pressure forces blood pressure to abruptly rise, pushing blood vessels to the breaking point.

  A Comprehensive Guide to Eye Bruising (Subconjunctival Hemorrhage) […] Eye bruising, medically known as subconjunctival hemorrhaging, is when a small blood vessel bursts underneath the conjunctiva, the clear surface covering the white part of the eye (sclera). This causes blood to pool and create a noticeable red or dark patch. It might look alarming, but it’s usually harmless and painless.
