Peel is working but my eye is badly affected. I did it to get rid of wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Its worth it but not for a broken vessel in eye which may take 6 weeks to heal.

Has this happened to you? Is a broken blood vessel in the eye a common side affect of putting an 18% TCA peel on your eyelid?

Great review?

Broken blood vessels in the eye are like a bruise anywhere else. It usually resolves in 2-3 weeks. These can happen spontaneously for no good reason. Unless you had a lot of pressure on your eyeball (unlikely during a chemical peel) or something got in your eye it is probably a coincidence.
