Miss C: I have a problem with my eye Doctor Mike.

Doctor Mike: What is that problem Wendy?

Miss C: I have a very bad eye problem.

Doctor Mike: May you please show me the problem Wendy?

Miss C: Yes sure no problem.

Doctor Mike: Ok this is when a very small blood vessel breaks underneath the conjunctiva.

Miss C: What is the conjunctiva?

Doctor Mike: The conjunctiva is a clear tissue covering the white part of the eye.

Miss C: Oh ok, what are some of the causes of this?

Doctor Mike: This can be caused by rubbing the eye or something hitting it. It can also be caused by strong coughing, sneezing, vomiting, stressful bowel movements.

Miss C: Well I have been coughing a lot lately.

Doctor Mike: Yes that is probably the cause of this eye problem.

Miss C: What can I do to get rid of this problem.

Doctor Mike: Well there is no treatment besides artificial tears to make the eye comfortable.

Miss C: Is there anything else I need to do?

Doctor Mike: Yes there is you need to avoid any heavy exertion and try not to rub the eye for several days.

Miss C: How long until it will clear up?

Doctor Mike: The hemorrhage will slowly clear over several weeks.

Miss C: Thank you for helping me with my problem Doctor Mike.

Doctor Mike: No problem!
