Could stopping my Brimolol and Dorzox eye drops for two days, or my recent recovery from COVID-19, be the cause of a new red dot in my eye, and is it a sign of an infection?
A small red dot on your eye is often a subconjunctival hemorrhage?essentially a tiny, harmless bruise. This can happen from coughing or straining during your recovery from COVID-19, and it is typically not a sign of infection. While stopping your Brimolol (brimonidine/timolol) and Dorzox (dorzolamide) drops for two days likely didn't cause this dot, please resume them immediately. Skipping these medications can cause a risky rise in eye pressure. The red dot should fade on its own within two weeks, but please contact your eye specialist promptly if you experience any pain, vision changes, or discharge.
