Vessels burst in the eyes: what it signals and what should be checked first

Many people notice that by the evening the eyes turn red and the vessels burst. How dangerous it is and what problems in the body can indicate this symptom, explained the Russian ophthalmologist Anton Kazantsev, writes sb.by.

According to the expert, such hemorrhages in the conjunctiva (visible eye membrane) do not pose an immediate threat to vision.

- However, if the vessels burst regularly and the eyes are constantly red in the evening, you should think about the systemic health of the body and a visit to the doctor. A healthy eye sclera should stay white, he said.

Permanent local hemorrhages, the doctor added, indicate that the cause lies not in the eye itself, but in the general state of the cardiovascular or endocrine system. Anton Kazantsev recommends that with regular manifestations of the symptom, measure the level of blood pressure, check the blood sugar indicator. The main task in such a situation is not to deal with the consequence of redness of proteins, but to timely identify and eliminate the root cause.
