Introduction: Subconjunctival Hemorrhage (SCH) is a common condition of the eye that has distinct characteristic features, such as the acute appearance of a sharply circumscribed redness of bleeding underneath the conjunctiva in the absence of discharge, and inflammation in the affected areas, which is painless. We are now disclosing a case of subconjunctival bleeding caused by local minor trauma and eye rubbing. This case was unique as the healing time, which was usually 1 to 2 weeks, was reduced to 5 days after the intervention of ayurvedic formulations. Case Presentation: A 60-year-old man who had redness in his left eye for one day came to the OPD setting. Redness and inflammation were present, as shown by direct clinical questioning. Later, a clinical examination confirmed both symptoms. A subconjunctival hemorrhage was confirmed by the way the eye appeared. Conclusion: Subconjunctival hemorrhage may exhibit signs of other conditions that pose a risk to the eyes. To make a distinction between those causes and localized subconjunctival hemorrhage, a clinical assessment was necessary.

Aim: This study was done to evaluate the simultaneous involvement of ocular structures in cases of head injury. Method: 96 cases of head injury were studied to note the associated ocular affections. It was a prospective nonrandomized analytical observational study. Patients of head Injury were evaluated for any ocular affection. Detailed history, Ophthalmological and neurological evaluation were done. All the relevant data was compiled and analyzed. Ocular manifestations were evaluated in each patient. Appropriate investigations were done to diagnose the cases of traumatic brain injuries. Results: It was observed that eyes are commonly affected in cases of head injury. Maximum numbers of patients were in the age group of 21-30 yrs (56%). Males were commonly affected .Oedema & echymosis of eyelids was the commonest affection (79%), followed by conjunctival chemosis & subconjunctival haemorrhage (75%) and orbital wall fractures (54%). Among the posterior segment affections, papilloedema and post neuritic optic atrophy were the common manifestations. Conclusion: It is important to evaluate all patients of head injury for any ocular involvement as well so that timely intervention can be done.

Subconjunctival hemorrhage is a benign disorder that is a common cause of acute ocular redness. The major risk factors include trauma and contact lens usage in younger patients, whereas among the elderly, systemic vascular diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and arteriosclerosis are more common. In patients in whom subconjunctival hemorrhage is recurrent or persistent, further evaluation, including workup for systemic hypertension, bleeding disorders, systemic and ocular malignancies, and drug side effects, is warranted.
