Introduction:Subconjunctival hemorrhage or suffusion is bleeding that occurs between the conjunctiva and episclera. It has a distinctive look and often frightens patients. The causes can be varied. Objective: The research was undertaken in order to determine the characteristics of patients within whomsubconjunctival hemorrhage occur. Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients of the Eye Department of the Health Center in KosovskaMitrovica, during 6 months. Results were analyzed SPSS ver 22, i GraphPad INSTAT software package. Results: The change was observed in 63 patients. Male gender was significantly more frequent. The age of patients was diverse-between 5 and 86 years. The causes and conditions associated with subconjunctival hemorrhages are usually eye trauma, in young,and arterial hypertension in elderly patients. Conclusion: Subconjunctival hemorrhage is a relatively common diagnosis in ophthalmology. The change is benign and spontaneously disappears during one to two weeks. It is important to note that the subconjunctival hemorrhage occur in patients with certain risk factors.
