Eye Problem

I've had something in my eye since last Friday. I thought it had come out and was just healing, but now there is a skittle sized blood spot in the top corner of the white of my eye and it's kinda blurry on that side now. What should I do?

Go in to get it checked out by an optometrist they need to make sure the foreign body is out and did not get stuck there
You need to see an eye doc and get a slit lamp exam to determine what you have.

It could be Broken blood vessel-like a bruise on your skin, it’s self limiting in nature
Anytime vision is affected you should be seen by an eye doctor to make sure nothing is going on inside the eye.
This appears to be a subconjunctival hemorrhage, or broken blood vessel. It may be due to heavy lifting, straining, or coughing. Elevated blood pressure may also cause a subconjunctival hemorrhage. It will dissipate in a week or so. You may use preservative free
artificial tears as needed. If you have any vision changes or discomfort of the eyes, please see a local eye care practitioner.
You need an antibiotic ointment like erythromycin
Go to your eye doctor . It could be related to cellulitis , scleritis , foreign body , conjunctival heme etc.
make an appointment with an optometrist or an ophthalmologist. A blood spot and any new blurry vision needs to be evaluated.
