Conj hemorrhage: Sounds like a conjunctival hemorrhage. Normal vision, no pain in eye and blood in white part of eye. Typically happens as a result of increased pressure in the eye like with couching or sneezing or throwing up. They can get a bit larger in size but after a few days, the size should now be at its peak and should slowly resolve over next two weeks, if continues to grow, see an MD.

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 Dr

Conjunctival hem.: A subconjunctival hemorrhage is a broken conjunctival vessel that bleeds into the space between that outer membrane of the eye and the eye itself. It usually is spontaneous, often happening overnight, and looks more severe than it really is. The clot that formed resorbs a few days after the occurrence and may bleed again. Avoid rubbing, coughing, straining. Get an eye exam if any discomfort.

Subconjunc Hemorrhag: You've got a subconjunctival hemorrhage. You diagnosed it correctly, as due to a ruptured blood vessel. These occur spontaneously, often following a cough or sneeze. They look terrible, and can be very frightening-appearing. Relax. The eye will get better every day. No treatment is necessary.
