Hi
Would not worry about it, it's got a scary name though of Subconjunctival haemorrhage but looks worse than it actually is. In your case it could be a dry eye problem causing it. It should clear up in a few days. The aircon wont help. Use lubricating drops regularly every few hours not just when the eye feels dry. They take a while to work their magic

I get the same thing and more often since I had the graft (scared the cr4p out if me the first time). Funnily enough I developed one tonight. Went for a walk and had a Sneezing fit and that what did it. Coughing as well does it for me

Thanks Ian

I'm going through the hayfever symptoms as well which may not help. I saw the contact lens specialist recently and she wasn't too concerned. Think I need to keep using the drops

Thanks
