Short sighted?: Red spot can be a blood vessel or a change in the conjunctiva called a pinguecula. Either way if it does not bother you , don't worry, but it is a good idea to see you eye doctor to get glasses for your shortsightedness!

Bleed: This is a sub-conjunctival hemorrhage. As long as the vision is unchanged and there is no pain, everything should be fine. If it is a little irritated, then you can use an artificial tear up to 4 times a day to lubricate. This is due to a blood vessel leaking blood and is usually without cause. Sometimes straining or blood thinner can cause this. If it continues to happen, follow up with eye md.
