Never happened to me, but I'm wondering..... Prednisone can do that with blood vessels. Are you on prednisone at this time?

BURSTED BLOOD VESSELS IN EYES?

Greetings Fellow Lupies,

I have a question......Do any of you ever get bursted blood vessels in your eyes? ...This has happened to me 3 times now.......I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror to see a pool of blood in my eye.....(not the same eye each time )......The first time it happened it scared the crap out of me.....I put in an emergency call to my opthalmologist, and he told me what it was from my decription of it......and said that it could be caused by rubbing my eye too hard. He said that he has known it to happen from a "hard sneeze!" and that there was nothing to do but to wait and the blood would be re obsorbed in a few days.

It doesn't hurt , and it doesn't affect my vision......and it always goes away like he said it would . These experiences happened a few years apart each time.....so it not like its a constant thing.....I just wondered how common this is.......this is the 4th day and I can see some of the white returning to my eye.
