Relief efforts in areas struck by earthquakes often include medical teams with the skills and equipment to treat survivors with rhabdomyolysis. The disease was first described in the 20th century, and important discoveries as to its mechanism were made during the Blitz of London in 1941.
2 How long does it take for a broken blood vessel in the eye to heal? Depends: broken blood vessel is actually not a very specific diagnosis. If a small hemorrhage on the eye surface is meant, then it will typically heal and all blood resorbed within 1-2 weeks. If there is a problem in the back of the eye, it may be the tip of the iceberg.
Should I see an eye doctor? Answer. A broken blood vessel in the eye can look very alarming, but will not cause any damage to your eyesight. What happens is that the conjunctiva contains many small, fragile blood vessels that are easily broken, and the blood is leaked into the space between conjunctiva and sclera. Since conjunctiva does not cover the iris of the eye, it is not possible for the leaked blood to cause damage to your vision.
