This is conversation between Miss C's and doctor.
Doctor: What is your problem?
Miss C: Something was happen my left eye. Bright red blood on my eye. I have this from Yesterday when I was woke up.
Doctor: Does It hurt?
Miss C: No it doesn't.
Doctor: That is a subconjunctival hemorrhage.
Miss C: What is that?
Doctor: It happen when a very small blood vessel breaks underneath the conjunctiva (clear tissue covering the white part of the eye). The blood is trapped there until it can be reabsorbed by the tissues of the eye.
Miss C: Why It happened?
Doctor: A subconjunctival hemorrhage can be caused by trauma such as rubbing the eye or something hitting the eye.
Miss C: what is my treatment for subconjunctival hemorrhage?
Doctor: There is no treatment and no treatment is necessary but some precautions may be needed. Artificial tears may be used if they make the eye feel more comfortable. Avoid any heavy exertion and try not to rub the eye for several days. There is absolutely nothing that will cause the blood to be reabsorbed quickly. The hemorrhage will slowly clear over several weeks. This condition is not contagious but will often draw the attention of others. If a second subconjunctival hemorrhage appears, the patient should be evaluated for underlying causes like diabetes or hypertension, to change medications, or to rule out any blood disorders.
