If you pop a blood vessel in eye does visine irritate it?

No ; but....: A popped blood vessel in the sclera is a subconjuntival hemorrhage. Visine is a vasoconstrictor & will not do anything to improve it. Then you have the phenomenon of rebound vasculitis (more redness) when visine is used more the 3 times a day for over 2-3 weeks. Visine should only be used for red eyes of non-pathological causes and at most 2x daily for max of few days.

Sub conj hemorrhage: A sub conjunctival hemorrhage is basically a bruise on the surface of the eye. It often takes 1-2 weeks for all of the blood to go away. There are no eye drops that can speed this up. Visine can be used but will not "get the red out" any faster.
