Title-  Subconjunctival  haemorrhage treated within 8days with homoeopathy- A case report.

Keywords- Sub-conjuctival haemorrhage  , pathological prescription

Introduction-

Subconjuctival Haemorrhage is common, since the vessels are loosely supported. Rupture of a conjuctival blood vessel causes a bright red, sharply delineated area surrounded by the normal appearing conjunctiva.

Aetiology-

1.      Traumatic

2.      Infective

3.      Mechanical

4.      Arteriosclerosis and hypertension

5.      Blood dyscrasias: Leukaemia, purpura, haemophilia, etc.

6.      Vicarious menstruation

7.      Idiopathic

                      

Fate of the hemorrhage- At first it is bright red in colour. This is due to the oxyhaemoglobin, as it is in constant contact with atmospheric oxygen.

Subsequently it changes its colour and lightens. Ultimately gets absorbed within 2 to 3 weeks if left untreated.
