  • Blood dripping from eye

    Hi,

    I woke the other night with a lot of moisture pooling on my eye and dripping down my cheek. When I woke I had dried blood on my face. About 20min after I woke, my eye had a little bright red blood coming out along my lower lid. I took out my contacts (I wear extended wear, sometime a little longer than I should) and it stopped. The following night I bleed a small amount 2 times.



    I have no known health problems, no diabetes, good BP. My eye looks fine. It's not red or inflamed or sore or anything!



    I went to the eye doctor today and my eye looked healthy, my lids look fine. He did not know what would cause this and seemed a little skeptical it actually bled.



    About an hour later a small amount of blood came out again. My eye feels slightly dry but that's about it.



    Any idea what it could be? I really can't find anything describing this online.

    Thanks!

    You should probably stop wearing contacts when sleeping and get a second opinion. I do see this https://www.healthline.com/health/ey...orrhage-causes

      SCH's are pretty common but I sure don't think actual bleeding is. It's reassuring that they didn't find something wrong though. If it happens again can you take selfies to share with the dr? A referral to a corneal specialist might be another way to get some answers.
