What causes a black spot in corner of my eye?
The answer given by Seema is quite correct. Anything floating in your vitreous will cast a shadow on your retina, and this you will see as a black spot. Thus the name floaters. Some are harmless. Many times the ophthalmologist may not identify specifically what is casting the shadow, but as mentioned it could be a number of things including pigments in the vitreous. If the spot persists or continues to grow, then you must have a dilated eye examination to find the cause. If the spots are multiple and “shower” then that is an emergency as it could be blood so you will need urgent medical attention.

There's red dot and I can't tell if it's a bump or if it's red dot in general but that part has been sore for few days and I just noticed today when staring at the mirror. Cant tell if it's because I shared towel and yesterday I got mixed up eyeglasss with somebody since it looked the same as his. Should I be ok? I trying eye wash. Shouldn't be std or anything like that? When I put contacts that part became more sore so I removed the Lense. I'm very worried if it's a type of std. It shouldn't be a bump inside eye? I also went to hair salon and the lady doesn't really do good job but I'm afraid if that might be the hair dye color. I don't want my hair color to dye my eye. The red spot is sore I can feel it. It stinged a lot when u was washing my eye after I got back from hair salon when I was washing my face. Will I be ok? What should I do?
Blood spot on my eye?
If it looks like actual blood, it's called a sub-conjunctival hemorrhage. It can occur spontaneously for no specific reason and this is the number-one cause, but some known causes are, rubbing, heavy coughing or sneezing, vomiting, picking up something heavy, taking too many blood thinning medications, etc. The bottom line is, it is a bruise. It will run it's course in 7 to 10 days. There should be no pain, maybe only a fullness feeling to the eye. Cool compresses used a few times a day may help it to reabsorb. One occurrence is nothing to be alarmed about. If it happens repeatedly, see your doctor. Of course, all of this is off the cuff, having not seen your eye.

I have a red spot on my eye. It looks like blood?
When I woke up this morning and I saw that there was a small dot that looks like blood on my eyeball on the end of one of the capillaries. It hasn't gotten any bigger but it hasn't gone away either. Should I be worried?
Should I be concerned about this red spot on my eye?
I had a spot like that about two weeks ago (next to my pupil). It was actually caused by some sort of external dirt, probably because I had unconsciously rubbed my eye with dirty hands. Also eye strain (caused by driving, using a computer, etc) could have been the reason. So what I did was to wash my face with my eyes closed with soap in the shower and then sleep for 8 hours straight that night. The next day the spot was dimmer and I got really better in the following days. Hence, I would have visited a professional if I couldn't see any improvements in the next day.
Sharp pain in eye then bloodshot. What could it be?
This happened to me a while back. Sudden sharp pain in the eye lasting only a few seconds followed by severe reddness the following day and even an area that was like an ugly, bloody red blotch. I felt slight discomfort the next several days. In fact, this happened several times fairly frequently. I asked my family doctor and he asked if I had recently been taking a lot of aspirin. I had, for frequent headaches. He explained that aspirin thins the blood and had caused the blood vessels in my eyes to burst. He said it's sort of like a bruise in the eyeball and takes about the same length of time to disappear as a bruise anywhere else on your body. I cut out the aspirin and changed to acetaminophen (Tylenol) and the problem ceased. One other thing; My doctor said not to use Visine or other products to "get the red out" as they cause the blood vessels in the eye to constrict which is how the redness is eliminated. He said the eyes need the flow of blood and using these products can cause problems further down the road. Hope this helped.
Is it normal to see things moving in the corner of your eye that aren't actually there?
Before I step in to answer this question first and foremost I would like to know those things that are seen moving in the corner of the eye; do they look like moving objects like blocks, rocks or floating leaves, or do they look like human beings or zombies? As much as I understand this question, these things are not very clear to ‘you’, but nevertheless, you are the right person to tell us in what shapes they are, when they move. For moving object, Yes it is normal, and it is very common in most of us. These moving objects actually are situated in the eye fluid in the interiors of your eyeball. They are caused by blood clots that were formed sometime back as the eye was hit by an object that almost punctured it. When this happened some veins were damaged and blood oozed out but did not find its way out of the eye, but only clotted right inside it. We do not understand why fragments of clotted blood inside the eye are never too big, all we know is that they float inside the eyeball partially obstructing one’s sight. The liquid inside the eye on which this clotted blood float is in constant motion and these are the thing seen making movements in the corner of the eye as if they are outside the eye. For a better explanation see the doctor.
