The young girl wrote a post with which many Facebook users interacted, and it came as follows: “I am one who wrote her book a few days ago, and I was preparing my dress, the hall, and many strong details.

Things were going well.. oh, there were some minor problems and minor things that annoyed him, but not to this degree.”

And she added, “I slept, woke up, and found my eyes in this way. I found treatment and did not get a result, nor did I understand it. There is no one who diagnosed me with this, nor what caused it.. Every day I sleep and wake up more and more.”

And she continued: “Farah postponed many needs that overwhelmed me.. other than the psychological course, except that I looked at myself in the mirrors. I was supposed to be a bride. Suddenly, this remained my form.”

The medical diagnosis of Israa Ahmed’s case

The appearance of a red bloody spot in the eye is usually due to subconjunctival bleeding as a result of a broken blood vessel, and it may sound scary, but it is usually harmless, according to WebMD.

The conjunctiva (which is the clear membrane that covers the eye) contains many tiny blood vessels, and when blood is trapped under this layer, it is called subconjunctival, and vision is not affected because of this.

This bleeding often occurs when blood pressure rises due to: sneezing, coughing forcefully, straining, or vomiting, and it can also occur due to illness or infection caused by eye rubbing, an object stuck in the eye, or contact lenses.

For symptoms of subconjunctival hemorrhage, a person may not know that a blood vessel has broken until they look in the mirror.

The person will not notice any symptoms such as vision changes, discharge, or pain, but may only experience an itchy feeling on the surface of the eye.

When will the red spots disappear from the eye of Israa?

The red spot may grow in 24 to 48 hours, then slowly turn yellow, and the eye sucks blood.

If the blood does not go away within 2 or 3 weeks, or if the person is also experiencing pain or vision problems, or the blood is anywhere within the colored part of your eye (iris), follow up with a specialist.

Treatment of the red spot in the eye

Most red spots heal on their own without treatment, and depending on their size, they may take a few days or a few weeks to disappear.

There’s no way to speed up recovery, but over-the-counter ice packs and drops can help relieve redness, and blood pressure should be measured to make sure you don’t need pressure medication.
