Hypertension
Systemic conditions such as hypertension are another common cause of blood in the eye. Doctors find that even when blood pressure levels are controlled with medication, a blood spot may still be a risk for looming hypertension.
High blood pressure damages delicate blood vessels in the eye and causes them to rupture. This could manifest as bleeding in the eye, blurred vision, and complete vision loss. High blood pressure may also cause nerve damage, blocking blood flow and leading to a subconjunctival hemorrhage.
Controlling bleeding in the eye due to hypertension is about addressing the condition. Significant lifestyle changes and medication treatments may help resolve hypertension. Switching to a healthy diet, doing physical workouts, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol intake, and getting enough sleep are just some things patients with hypertension could do to resolve the issue. Different medicines are also prescribed to regulate blood pressure levels and address other symptoms to avoid blood in the eye and the more severe complications that may come with it.
