Problems with my eye... to me anyway.

Right, enclosed is a pic of my eye with the bloodshot sections on it. (Badly edited drawing). They are quite noticable when I look at myself in the mirror from a close distance. (like 15cm or so away). It's starting to get me down (don't ask why, not sure). It's been here for months. As long as I can remember. Is there a way to get rid of it? I sleep plenty, eat well, exercise lots. Though I spend a lot of my time on the computer.

Any suggestions helpful. Obviously I will spend less time on the PC, but other then that?

I can't post the picture anon. I'll have to upload it.
Use photobucket or something.

Bloodshot sections? But not the whole. It sounds unlikely to be anything like tiredness or eyestrain.

As always, see a GP.

EDIT: On seeing the picture, a photo is more helpful. That doesn't look like 'bloodshot', that's visible blood vessels, which isn't 'per se' abnormal. Without an opthalmoscope, it's kinda hard to tell.

I am going to be seeing my doctor soon so I'll ask then. Just want some advice first from anyone experienced in the matter.

Maybe you should spend less time on the computer? The bloodshot areas will go.

"Totally bloodshot" is very different to what the OP described... :rolleyes:

If it was temporary surely it would have gone after months? I mean, I'm not on the pc all through the school. (Though 2 of my subjects involved computers).

Turn the brightness down nice and low when you're using a computer, although not so low you have to squint to see it. Sounds like eye strain to me, so I'd sort out your computer to ease your vision a bit.

Will do. I'm just worried it could be permanent and just a part of me. I read that blood vessels get weaker the more they are 'strained' or something to that effect. Is it possible the two visible ones are just really weak?
Ruddy hell, I opened up that picture and got a load of 'PartyPoker' popups.
Flaming eyes...
That is the same condition as I have. I've had it for a month - it's bloodshot veins in the corners of my eyes. They aren't bloodshot in the normal sense; you can see the vein's outline. There was another thread about this; it'll be on page 3/4, I think; so that's three people on here suffering from it. At times, the veins subside; othertimes they really standout.

Will you report back to us what the doctor says? I need to go to a doctor for a different reason, so it'll have to wait for me.
