I have had ocular hypertension for about 25 years, treated with drops.I
just had a full eye exam with full dilation and my first corneal
thickness measurement, by a Pachmate device.  I was happy that the
cornea is thick,with the suggestion that my eye pressure can be
considered four points below the IOP measurement.

An hour after I left the office, I felt pain in the outer right eye and
there was sbleeding. The pain resolved soon, and  the blood residue is
gradually getting absorbed.  When I called my glaucoma doc, he said to
use an antibiotic drop and see him after the weekend.  The eye then
looked OK to him; it was not scratched.

He asked if I have hypettension ( am on Dyazide & BP is not high) or was
on Motrin, aspirin,etc., or had rubbed it.(No.) Since the event came
spontaneously, I wonder if there could be any connection to the pupil
dilators or the Pachmate, which I believe touches the eye.

I did have a similar unexplained event in the left eye a year or twoago,
which resolved. At that time, the same Dr. just said to use sterile
water on the eye.

Any thoughts, for future reference. If it could be the Pachmate, I think
the experience shouild be made know to hte manufacturer.
Thanks!
