Constant broken blood vessel in eye

[[st...]]

Dies anyone know why this happens?  I never had this happen till a few years on benzos. Now that I’m off it happens in one eye all the time. What causes this?

I'd go to the docs and get it checked out.

Benzo's seem to effect many people's eyes in different ways.  I have had eye issues that range from redness, to pain, to feeling like my eye is to big for the socket.  Been to reg eye Dr to specialist.

 

I have 2 other friends on bb have had other issues.  One woke up one morning , eye in terrible redness and pain.  Seems all things lead back to benzo's, of course if you are worried, I know some eye Dr's are opening up now.

 

I hope it goes away quickly and you don't need to see a Dr.  Good luck, Mary 💜💜

Thank you Becksblue and Mary5588.

  I’ve been to many eye doctors right before my withdrawal started. My eyes were my worst issue since last year when I was told I could take half my dose or none if I could sleep without it, after saying I wanted to get off.

  I have constant dry, burning, watering eyes that are always red. I used to have the most beautiful eyes but I’m so afraid that I have chronic dry eye or ocular rosacea or some autoimmune disorder. I went to 3 eye doctors that just were no help and just threw eye drops at the problem and I’ve never had relief from them. I really hope this is benzo related and clears up eventually.

I hope so too stereo.  I was given a bunch of drops too, they didn't help.  But I can tell you, my eye issues do get better at times, so it's like a come and go symptom.  It is scary though at times because it's your eyesight.  I can also tell you, my 2 eye Dr's wouldn't listen to a word when I talked about benzo's, just kept talking about something else.  They were probably the worst Dr's I have had since withdrawal started.

Is it possible you can get an ANA, anti-nuclear antibody, screening blood test?  It would check for some antibodies that might be causing the problem with your eye.
