Eye bleeding: "eye bleeding" is a general term that can refer to blood on the surface of the eye or bleeding inside the eye irself and may be due to a variety of causes. An examination by an eyemd is recommended for evaluation to determine the nature of the bleeding.

Blood on the surface: If you can see the blood on the surface of the eye, it is a broken blood vessel. It will not cause you any harm, but won't look very nice. It is the equivalent of a bruise....Looks bad, but does not cause problems with function/vision.

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 md.
