vessels coming in toward iris mild discomfort vision not affected watery discharge caused by an infection and is highly contagious
subconjuctival hemorrhage
leakage of blood vessels not painful vision not affected no discharge not significant
corneal infection/injury
dilation of vessels radiating from limbus moderate to severe superficial pain decreased vision watery discharge caused by abrasions
acute iritis
dilation of vessels radiating from limbus moderate deep pain no discharge small pupil cloudy cornea associated with systemic infection
acute angle closure glaucoma
dilation of vessels radiating from limbus severe deep pain no discharge dilated pupil cloudy cornea caused by an increase in IOP- emergency
