Hemorraging of the eye?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I posted recently that I thought Brenna scratched the white of her eye. Well I woke up this morning and she had another bright red streak across the white of her eye... It looks like a streak of blood with little veins coming off of it.
I called the doctor's office and the nurse said it sounded like she was having hemorraging in her eye and she would let the doctor know and he would give me a call.
Is this something I need to worry about? What would cause it to repeatedly happen and can it cause any damage?

I don't know about babies, but that has happened to me before. It's like a bruise on the eye. In my case, it looked ugly, but it healed on it's own. Poor baby.

Just wanted to attach a picture so you could see what it looks like.

I know when sneezing or something popping a blood vessel in your eye is common, but I am not sure its the same thing? Did the dr call back? Is she ok?
