Question 1

could violent vomiting cause a broken blood vessel in my eyeball?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Any activity which can significantly increase the pressure in your head or chest, like violent sneezing, coughing, or vomiting, could be related to a subconjunctival hemorrhage (broken blood vessel). These will not affect your eyesight, and should clear in 7-10 days. It is more likely if the person has high blood pressure, or is taking blood thinners. No treatment is required in most cases.

Question 2

i have a broken blood vessel in my eye. help?

Accepted Answer

In or on surface?: If it is on the surface (you can see it in the mirror) it is most likely not a problem.  Occasionally blood vessels break on the surface (called sub-conjunctival hemorrhage) and looks bad, but will resolve on its own.  There should not be any pain or vision changes it this occurs.  If this happens mutiple times, see and ophthalmologist (there may be undelying cause).

Question 3

Accepted Answer

No treatment: I'm unaware of any respectable company producing chamomile eye drops.  There are no eyedrops that will help with broken blood vessels on the eye.  They are harmless and will spontaneously resolve.

Question 4

what does a broken blood vessel in the eye mean?

Accepted Answer

Usually nothing: Sub conjunctival hemorrhage is a common condition.  It may be due to blood pressure ore eye pressure.  But usually a cause is not found. Any valsalva maneuver may cause a capillary to break, even heavy lifting or constipation.  It is usually benign.  But have your eyes checked.

Question 5

will exercise make broken blood vessel in eye worse?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: It is okay to exercise with a subconjunctival hemorrhage.

Question 6

how long does it take for a broken blood vessel in the eye to heal?

Accepted Answer

Depends : A small subconjunctival hemorrhage can clear up in a few days.  A large one can last up to two weeks gradually turning green/yellow until it fades away.

Question 7

how long does it take a broken blood vessel in the eye to fully heal?

Accepted Answer

2-3 weeks: Even a single drop of blood with a subconjunctival hemorrhage can have a dramatic appearance.  Just like a bruise, it usually takes 10-21 days to resolve as the blood breaks down.  Be sure to use some artificial tears for irritation and if the hemorrhage is accompanied by any other symptoms, see your ophthalmologist.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

"Black eye" resoluti: A "black eye" and "broken blood vessel" in the conjunctiva (white) of the eye are like  bruises and will slowly disappear over 2-3 weeks, first turning dark red then brown and finally yellowish before disappearing.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Probably not related: I don't know how a headache could have caused a bleed on the surface of the eye, unless you had vomiting with the headache. The broken blood vessel is self limited, and is not dangerous.
