This was me yesterday before i set off on a mission to try and get some industrial strength drugs for the pain.

Question: Do any of you medically minded people know why i have a big area of blood in the white of my eye?
Trauma to the eyeball can cause a bleed into the white of the eye - a so called subconjunctival haemorrhage. They would have had a good look at your eye at the hospital. I assume your vision is OK and your pupil unaffected - the same size as the other one and no blood visible within the coloured bit - and it responds to light by shrinking. The commonest cause of this is in fact spontaneous - probably from the eye being rubbed in sleep. In itself it is of no consequence but is pretty scary to look at. See your GP if there is concern.
