Please do not freak out. This is not from a filler. You likely had burst blood vessel from stress or change in blood pressure. Filler injections do not cause burst blood vessels in the eyes.  You will not be blind. If you are experiencing vision changes or still unsure, then  I strongly  recommend that you contact the provider who performed your treatment in order to better evaluate you in person and to reassure you. Hope this helps, Dr.Avaliani.

Thank you for sending your pictures.  The blood you see in the eye is a little sub-conjunctival hemorrhage.  It is not related to the injection of dermal fillers.  These little hemorrhages are actually quite common and can be caused by a cough, sneeze or any type of straining.  Over a few days, this will be reabsorbed by the body and your eye will return to normal.  Regards, Dr. D

This red area in in the conjunctiva of the eye and doesn't represent an injection injury.  If you are still having concerns then please see your provider.

This looks like a sub-conjunctival hemorrhage which is probably unrelated to the fillers. It can be related to rubbing your eye, vigorous exercise or elevated blood pressure. I would suggest you see your primary to rule out the latter.
