A member asked:

What causes subconjunctival hemorrhage to last so long?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Slow absorption: This benign event in most cases, involves the absorption of blood from the subconjunctival space, which can do this but this is not the ordinary function of this space. So absorption takes a while but will happen.
