About 1-2 weeks: This is common in patients with allergies, dry eyes and contact lens users. Contact your doctor for any pain or if you have easy brusing or bleeding elsewhere in your body.

Days to weeks: Depending on the amount of blood, it can be just a few days. If there is a big blood buildup, it can gradually improve over a few weeks. It is not a sign of a major medical problem.
