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.

Depends: "broken blood vessel" is actually not a very specific diagnosis. If a small hemorrhage on the eye surface is meant, then it will typically heal and all blood resorbed within 1-2 weeks. If there is a problem in the back of the eye, it may be the tip of the iceberg. Please consider getting a proper evaluation by an eye care professional.
