broken blood vessel in eye and Eliquis

Hi All,

I have a broken blood vessel in my eye. Do I need to discontinue Eliquis?

All the best,
Ryan

I don't think anyone here can answer that for you. It would depend on the size of the vessel, how much it's bleeding, exactly where in the eye it is, whether it's stopped by now, and your stroke risk (CHADS score, etc). I would see an ophthalmologist, optometrist, or ER doc.

I had the same thing several months ago. I stopped eliquis for 2 days and it took 3 days for the blood to diffuse. After that everything was nomal

If it's just a small vessel in the sclera of your eye (the white part), those are usually harmless and go away on their own. They're mainly just ugly. Has it stopped now?

You didn't say where it was at first so I didn't know if it was bleeding into your cornea or something more troublesome like that, hence my advice to ask a doc who can examine it.
