Blood vessel burst in eye
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's OK: You can have a capillary burst in the lining of the eye causing a red splotch that can be pretty dramatic. As long as the blood does not cross over the colored part of the eye (iris) it is not dangerous and will go away on its own within a week or so. If you have pain, decreased vision or the blood crosses over the iris, then see the ER.
