Maybe : It depends where the blood vessel is. If it is in the eye yes. This would occur for several reasons the most common is diabetes but hypertension can do it. Other reason could be retinal detachment. If it is in the white of the eye also sclera, it looks terrible but little danger to affect sight or blurred vision. If is causing blurred vision , see eye doc now. One other cause is trauma.

Depends: Depends on what blood vessel ruptured. If it was on the retina (the back part of your eye that has the nerve endings), it could cause blurry vision. A broken blood vessel on the white part of your eye (conjunctiva) should not cause any visual symptoms.
