Ojo rojo
Un parche de color rojo brillante aparece en la esclerótica del ojo. Sin embargo, el parche es indoloro, no se presenta secreción del ojo y la visión no cambia.
El médico lleva a cabo un examen físico y examina los ojos.
Se debe revisar la presión arterial y, si la persona presenta moretones o sangrado en otras áreas, es posible que se necesiten exámenes más específicos.
