Accepted Answer

Somewhat common: This is a benign bleeding from a small vein in the space under the clear conjunctiva over the white of the eye. Due to oxygen exposure it stays very red until absorbed.  It can spread over a broad area and look very dramatic.  Usually there are no symptoms except the redness.  If the vision is changed, or there is pain, see your ophthalmologist.  Otherwise you can wait it out.

Accepted Answer

No problem : You may want to give your eyes a rest, since your subconjunctival heme may have occurred from either trauma, cold, or other reason. It may be a sign for you to stop doing computer work now, blink more, and take care of your health first, especially your eye health. Even though a subconjunctival  heme is a benign condition, what might have led up to it may not be. So relax, and take a break!
