Red patch in Eye after Epi Lasik
It's been 3 days post Epi Lasik on both eyes. I recently noticed a red patch in my left eye while looking at the mirror. Is it alarming? Will this affect my vision? Also when can I start watching TV and screens post op? When will my reading vision improve?

It's a subconjunctival bleed.
It can occur after eye surgery or Anu trauma.
It is mostly self resolving.
Usually it disappears within two weeks.
Warning signs should be ruled out like pain, diminished vision, floaters means floating mosquito in front of eye etc.
Avoid rubbing
Maintain hygeine
Avoid weight lifting.
Avoid any strains
