Is it okay to wear contacts with a broken blood vessel in the eye?

Probably: Should be ok to wear contacts lens even with a subconjunctival hemorrhage. However you may want to rest your eye first.

Yes but......: If the hemorrhage is large enough to be elevated, the contact may not fit well and could cause problems.
