Should I be worried?

No pain.

Looks like you've burst a blood vessel - did you have a violent sneeze or cough earlier in the day?

No sneeze. Not even a little one 😬

But more strain than usual (stress + too much work on the computer)

Looks like a burst blood vessel. It should fade away in a few days.

Good, I'll keep a eye on it 🙏

Could be down to stress and eye strain for sure - glad it's not hurting. It's basically an eye bruise and will sort itself out in time. Just be nice to yourself - limit screen time (sorry!) and if you want to wear sunglasses indoors then have a good celebrity disguise to go alongside... hope it recovers soon!

Reassuring! Thanks for the tough love. I’ll try to limit my screen time and go for the celeb look for a few days 😁

It's rough, I've been there, but eye rest definitely speeds up recovery and in the meantime enjoy people looking at you in your sunglasses and wondering: "Who IS she?!"
