Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Bloodshot Eyes
Rarely, interferon may cause eye problems. Symptoms may include dry, itchy, bloodshot eyes, burning eyes, decreased vision, blurry vision, poor night vision and blind spots.
All women with high blood pressure or diabetes need to undergo an eye exam prior to beginning interferon therapy. Anyone who develops any visual disturbances while on interferon should report this symptom immediately to their doctor. Dry, itchy, bloodshot eyes may be treated with over-thecounter saline eye drops or Natural Tears. When eye problems are accompanied by decreased vision, evaluation by an ophthalmologist is necessary. In these circumstances, interferon may need to be discontinued, depending upon the severity of symptoms. Typically eye problems resolve once interferon use is stopped.
Here's a site that says a bit about the types of problems and also mentions the wool spot one.
