Eye Bubble

An eye bleb is a collection of fluid or blood in one of 3 small sacs located around the inner corner of the eye in the orbit. This bubble forms at the initial stage after hemorrhage in the eye and provides reliable protection in case of further injuries. It helps prevent fluid loss from the eye.

The optic vesicle has walls made of tissue called endothelium. The endothelium contains special cells that allow fluid to pass through the wall into close proximity to the retina. If trauma to the eye occurs, the endothelium may be damaged leading to bleeding. It is at this time that the possibility of injury to the optic vesicle arises. In this case, it can fill not only with blood or fluid, but also with a blood clot. Also, an eye bubble may appear as a result of the development of an infection, viral eye disease or hereditary diseases.
