broken eye vessel causes
The official name for a broken blood vessel in your eye is a subconjunctival (sub-kon-junk-TIH-vul) hemorrhage. Broken blood vessels occur when a tiny blood vessel bursts under the clear surface of your eye (also known as the conjunctiva). Think of it as a painless bruise on your eye. In spite of its gruesome appearance, a subconjunctival hemorrhage should not cause any pain, discharge, or change in your vision.
