What are the dangers of wearing contact lens when you have a broken blood vessel in the eye. my eye feels fine and vision is fine too. just ugly.

Odd question: How do you know you have a "broken blood vessel in the eye?" Did your ophthalmologist tell you this? Some of the potential complications of contact lens wear include corneal epithelial problems and infectious keratitis. There are no blood vessels inside the cornea. It is a layer of keratin which must be clear to allow unimpeded passage of light through the lens to reach the retina.
