I've noticed that my left eye is looking really red, kind of like it's filled with a blood-like fluid, and it's been this way for about 23 days now. I've also been feeling this strain in that eye for the same amount of time. I do have high blood pressure and diabetes, so I'm wondering if those might be connected to what's going on. What could be causing this, and what would the diagnosis likely be?

The symptoms of a half-red left eye with a blood-like fluid, accompanied by strain and underlying conditions of high blood pressure and diabetes, suggest potential causes such as subconjunctival hemorrhage, diabetic retinopathy, or hypertensive retinopathy; immediate consultation with an ophthalmologist is recommended for a comprehensive evaluation,

I'm worried about my left eye. It feels like something is pulling it from behind, on the temporal side, especially when I take off my glasses to read. I've been using spectacles for myopia since I was 18, and my current prescription is 4 for the left eye and 3 for the right, which Ive had for about 3 months now. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this feeling?
The sensation of your left eyeball being pulled from behind on the temporal side when removing glasses for reading may be related to eye strain, convergence insufficiency, or accommodative spasm, which can occur due to prolonged near vision tasks; consider consulting an eye care professional for a comprehensive evaluation, and discuss potential corrective measures, such as adjusting your glasses prescription, incorporating eye exercises, or using reading glasses with a different power.
