TV host, singer, and actress Kitkat Favia has revealed that she experienced ruptured blood vessels in both eyes, which she attributed to extreme heat. She shared photos on Instagram Stories on April 16 showing significant redness in her eyes.
Public Warning About Heat
In her post, Favia said, “Kung kailan may taping pa! Ingat tayo, sobrang init talaga… kung ‘yung iba dinudugo ang ilong sa init, ako naman sa mata pumutok ang blood vessels.” This translates to: “Just when there’s a taping! Let’s be careful, it’s really hot… if others get nosebleeds from the heat, for me, the blood vessels in my eyes burst.”
Medical Diagnosis
Her ophthalmologist confirmed that the condition is a subconjunctival hemorrhage, which typically occurs when small blood vessels break just beneath the clear surface of the eye. The doctor noted that it may take about a week to heal completely. Favia’s case highlights the potential health effects of extreme heat, which can cause various physical reactions including nosebleeds and, as in her case, eye hemorrhages.
