Misdiagnosis and Bloodshot eyes
Unnecessary hysterectomies due to undiagnosed bleeding disorder in women: The bleeding disorder
called Von Willebrand's disease is quite common in women, but often fails to be correctly diagnosed.
Women with the condition tend to have heavy periods, since they actually have a bleeding disorder.
Severe afflictions may result in the women receiving a hysterectomy unnecessarily, when the
underlying cause has not been identified.

Diagnostic tests for Bloodshot eyes:
Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Bloodshot eyes. Some of these are listed below :
- Physical examination
- Eye inspection with local anesthetic drops and fluorescein for detecting any corneal defect
- If pain is relieved by anesthetic drops suggests a surface problem, if pain is unrelieved a deeper problem must be suspected

- E.g. conjunctivitis has clearly defined vessels and cover the entire sclera ; episcleritis and scleritis have larger blood shot vessels and are concentrated towards the cornea

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Bloodshot eyes.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you noticed the blood shot eye? - to determine if acute or chronic.
- Is it one or both eyes? - if only one eye consider trauma, foreign body, corneal ulcer, iritis, viral conjunctivitis, acute glaucoma. Bacterial conjunctivitis usually starts in one eye but quickly spreads to the other eye.
- What was the manner of onset i.e. sudden or acute - e.g. conjunctivitis or iritis usually has a gradual onset; small foreign body will produce a rapid blood shot eye.
- Is the patient less than one month old? - suggests neonatal conjunctivitis and possible causes include Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhea, herpes simplex type 2 and other common bacterial organisms. Both parents must be tested for venereal disease and treated accordingly.
- Is the patient elderly? - elderly patients have an increased risk of acute glaucoma, iritis and herpes zoster of the eye.
