    Looks like hell. I rubbed my eye hard on Sunday night (had an eyelash in it) and then Monday morning half of my eye was red, not tired looking but red. I went to the nurse we have here and they looked at my eye with a microscope and said I didn't have a scratch or cut and since my eye wasn't red in the cornea no antibiotics or steroids were needed. Can you bruise your eye by rubbing it to the point a blood vessel burst? or could some drug cause it?

    busted a capillary. very frequent and yeah rubbing could cause it.

    unless you are on MASSIVE blood thinners or have a clotting disorder, I don't see any other meds doing it.

    I went thru lasik and I could not rub my eyes for like six months. That was hard but I kind of got out of the habit.

    I noticed this in my baby daughter's left eye yesterday. Should I be worried?

    It happened to Stewie once when he pushed too hard to fart.

    THAT was some funny shit.

    the baby? she probably just rubbed it. i'd just keep an eye on it and if it does happen to get worse, call the doc.

    Yes and that's what we are doing. Her hands have discovered her face and she's all the time poking herself. I'm thinking she just poked herself in the eye. Doesn't seem to bother her but I'll keep an eye on it.
