Brief Answer:
Subconjnctival haemorrhage

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.

I am D. kakkar(Dermatologist). I have noted your concern.

You have subconjnctival haemorrhage. It is self resolving and should resolve by itself in about 2 weeks. Minor trauma to the eye e.g aggressive rubbing could have caused it. Most often it has no underlying cause.. however, it is more common in elderly or in those on anti platelet therapy e.g aspirin for coronary artery disease.. Therefore you must get your blood pressure checked. You may take an oral vitamin C supplement once daily for 2 weeks.
