The newborn’s eyes with red spots or blood clots may have subconjunctival hemorrhages (Ruptured small blood vessels in the eye). These occur due to the rupture of small blood vessels after mechanical trauma during the birth process or sometimes following episodes of excessive crying, coughing, or vomiting. However, some cases occur without any clear reasons. Subconjunctival hemorrhage lesions typically resolve on their own within 1 – 3 weeks without any treatment and usually do not affect the baby’s vision. Therefore, partners should not be overly worried when detecting red spots or blood clots in their baby’s eyes.
