How long does it take for a busted blood vessel in an eye to heal? What's the average time?

I had a broken vessel a few years ago that took about 3 weeks to completely resolve.  I think you can expect it to last at least 2 weeks and probably up to a month.

The doctors are right. I developed one on  my shin after a wreck. 6 months later it was flat and only minorly discolored, 8 months later it was no longer painful to the touch and the coloration had gone, 10 months later it no longer hurt to run. It does take a while, I would wait as long as you can to decide to get it drained, because I was told this can be painful. But if there's absolutely no change in color or size after 7 months, you may want to go for it, cause that's about when the calcification process starts (Eventually it will turn hard.) Healing time also depends on where the hematoma is located. If there is mostly bone and not alot of muscle mass, it may not take as long (i.e. top of foot, hand, etc.) In areas with much muscle mass and fat, it may take a long time, because the muscle absorbs all the protein.\n\nHere's what you can do to hurry it a little: \n\nFill a styrofoam cup with water and freeze.\n\nTear the top rim off so a half inch or so protrudes like chapstick.\n\nMassage the hematoma lightly with this ice for 15 minutes at a time, 3 to 4 times daily.\n\nAt night, use some form of localized heat, that can be comfortable and not dangerous or painfull. This will help promote bloodflow in that area.\n\nDON'T rub or massage the area, you may make the area bleed again under the skin, starting you back at day 1.\n\nEat a diet rich in protein.\n\nGet extra rest if the hematoma is on your legs or feet.\n\nGood luck, I hope this helps you.

1) Will occur with any injury that causes the blood vessels to break.\n2) Will occur with any injury that involves a nerve(s)\n3) Will occur with any injury to the skin\n4) Will hurt with movement due to swelling.\n\nThis being said, most of your symptoms can occur anywhere from 10 minutes after the injury up to three days.\nIf you were hit hard by the ball and it hyperextended (bent backwards) you thumb, you could have possibly fractured it.\n\nIf you don't think you have broken your thumb, the by all means use RICE\n(R) Rest\n(I) Ice\n(C) Compression\n(E) Elevation

About a week. bruising proceeds Red-Blue-Green-Gone. So when you get a greenish tint to the bruising around the eye, you know you're nearly there :-)\n\nI would advise injury prevention by avoiding the item or person that gave you this problem.

Hate to tell you this, but normal recovery takes 6 months to one year.  Sorry!  Hope you feel better.

It can be really painful. I have them to appear on my right eye about every 4-6 months. I went to the doctor,,He gave me antibiotic eye drops.Also told me to apply heat compresses 3 times a day. One was so large that it ruptured when I wiped my eye..I got a q-tip and pressed on the area and drained until it was almost gone..The next day it was alot better..It had completely disappeared within 3 days.

It's your eye.  You only have two.  By definition, that's serious.  I figure you just got something in your eye and it'll be gone shortly.\nBut like I said, this is your eye!  Get it checked as soon as possible.  \n\nPossibilities:\nEyestrain \nFatigue \nSubconjunctival hemorrhage\nRed eye

I had an angioplasty done in May and I still have some discomfort (very minor) it last about 90 and it will get better. Watch the wound and see that it is not turning red or looking infected and watch the temperature too.

It depends on your levels of myopia , your cornea, your healing ability as well as other factors. In my case, it took at least ten days to see everything a little clearer again. It was very difficult for me to read letters on the computer in the first month after the surgery.\n\nI would strongly recommend you and your friend to read this website carefully before making a decision. You have only one pair of eyes, and therefore should not risk your most precious things. I have had lasik surgery myself, and if I were given a choice , I would never have it again. Please do not believe in those who can benefit from your surgery. What they aim at is money, and not your health. I think there is a new technique that helps shape your eyes and thus reduces your myopia without involving any operations at all.\n\nUseful website:\n\nhttp://www.lasikdisaster.com/

A few, but a competent Lasik place should warn you and prepare you before your surgery.  After mine, I had to put drops in them all the time because they were very dry.  I couldn't open my eyes for 6 hours after the surgery so they could begin healing.  I used rewetting drops they suggested for at least 3 months afterwards.  And I do have a few problems at night with driving.  The lights have tiny little halos and make it harder to drive(but I deal), and the red lights at the movie theater floor blind me(someone has to lead me down the steps after the movie).  But overall i was super happy with the results and love it!!

Depends on what kind.\n\nThe kind I had, which was for a retinal detachment, had me in a semiconscious haze of pain for about a week, and hurt to a lesser degree for about a month afterwards.  At the beginning, I could not read, watch TV, or look at anything really, because it hurt too much to move and/or focus my eye.  I would recommend eye surgery to save your sight (it was worth that) but not for any cosmetic reason.

No that will not cause astigmatism. lol    It is common for blood vessels to break with intense straining as in vomiting, constipation, etc.  No teatment makes it look or get better except time. It takes 2-3 weeks for the redness to resolve completely.

Actually the bump on the head is due to edema or a fluid accumulating in the area that you got hit thats why its a big buldge this fluid contains all kinds of cells neutrophils and macrophages. The bump will cause a break in the continuity of your blood vessles, and you get some blood leaking and slowly itll be engulfed. Since the head as well as most of hte body is rich in blood vessels its not a worry if a few vessles break when getting injured. Slowly the injured tissues (site of the bump) will start being selectively removed and newer tissues will form, this is why you see the different color changes every few days 2-3 days about, from red to blue to green to brown then faint and finally back to normal. Bruising in the head might be more severe though because it doesnt have fascia or fat protecting it under the skin layer, good luck hope this helps you.

the surgery itself is fairly quick... just minutes\n\nas for recovery- it depends on your age and your sexual tendancies... erection can cause it to take longer to heal\n\non average look for it to take about the same as a surface scratch to heal... usually about 2 weeks (unless u are diabetic)

Bruising is bleeding under the skin (small vessels) they will slowly absorb back in to the tissue...don't use margarine..with it around your eyes heat may cause swelling (very fragile skin around eyes) cold stops the bleeding but you have moved past that..just be patient..first their there and then they will be gone...

I'm waiting on surgery to have my left eye operated on. i don't know any procedures around that will fix a catarrh without surgery as you need to have your bad lens removed and a new one put there. I've had my right eye done and can see through it perfectly. i cant see a thing through my left eye. the longer you leave it the worse it get, believe me i know.

From personal experience it takes four hours. The swelling comes first. The bruise appearence follows later.
