I still don't know how I got it. No injury to the eye, no coughing or sneezing. No pain. My headache is a little better. But a subconjunctival hemorrhage takes about as long to heal as a bruise.

As with our wonderful Lounge friends here, I've had a few patients come in to the clinic understandably fearful about this condition, which fits the definition of 'looks worse than it is'.
