red Dot in eye

red Dot in eye

This afternoon I noticed a red dot in my eye and I don't feel any discomfort.  I am worried and I don't know if it's going to go away?  How long would it take?  

Thanks.

If it looks like a small hemorrhage of blood on the white of the eye it is called a subconjunctival hemorrage and should go away in about 7-10 days.  If you have pain, loss of vision, discharge you should see an ophthalmologist.  If you are very concerned about it, it is still probably a good idea to see an ophthalmologist just to set your mind at ease.

Some one’s hand hit on my eye, I found small red dot on my eyes. I can able to see properly, and there is no pain. Will the red dot become bigger later? Is it necessary to go to ophthalmologist for this problem?
Thanks.
