have you ever gazed into someone's eyes and noticed the whites of their eyes have spots on them? Bright red spots that look like blood on the sclera can be a sign of a painless and usually benign condition called SUBCONJUNCTIVAL HEMORRHAGE. These spots are actually blood vessels that burst from forceful coughing, sneezing, vomiting, or an eye injury. They can be a sign of high blood pressure, especially in older people.
Red spots on the eyes can also be a sign of focal Senile Translucency OF The Sclera, a condition in which calcium deposits cause dark areas to appear on the white of the eyes. Although disconcerting, this condition is yet another normal, harmless but unappealing sign of aging. Recurring red spots, however, can signal high blood pressure or a blood-clotting disorder.
