Varies: Eye bleeding is a general term that describes blood in front or back of the eye. Remember that the retina can cause major bleeding issues that cause loss of vision.

Eye hemorrhage: Bleeding in the front part of the eye is called a hyphema, and is usually from fairly severe trauma. Bleeding into the vitreous of the eye can be from trauma, retinal tear, or retinal vascular disease such as diabetic retinopathy or vein occlusions. Hemorrhage can clear spontaneously over time, but the associated causes and problems need evaluation and treatment.
