Hello everyone,
Since shortly before my surgery, I have suffered every so often from a broken blood vessel in one eye or the other. Since I am a coumadin user, it bleeds really good and, as my bride says, I get "monster eye".
In January I had a vessel break in my left eye and soon the entire white portion of my eye was blood red. I told my bride that Yes, I know it's harmless and Yes I know nothing can be done about it but I would feel much better if we had a Doc check it out. Since it was a Sunday, we went to the local urgent care.
We happened to meet a Hungarian Doc and he confirmed nothing could be done, you just have to wait until your body reabsorbs the blood. Now here is the interesting part. He then told me that if you take 1000mg of Vitamin C a day, that rapidly speeds up your body process to reabsorb the blood. He did tell me to see my Doc by Tuesday. On Tuesday my regular Doc told me he had never heard of the vitamin C theory and it would take 4 to 6 weeks for my eye to clear. (it was REALLY red).
So I started on the 1000mg of vitamin C and 'presto' in 17 days my eye was perfectly clear. I went back to my Doc and he was amazed and said he would look into it more. Several months ago, we met a lady who had the same problem. She said her Doc said nothing could be done. We told her about the vitamin C and she said she would give it a try. 2 weeks later she called us say her eye had cleared nearly 100%.
I don't know if this has been discussed before but it worked for me and a friend and I wanted to pass it on. It also works when you get a bruise. Same principal as what happens in your eye.
Anyway I hope this helps.
