  A subconjunctival hemorrhage (sub-kun-JUNK-tih-vul HEM-uh-ruj) occurs when a tiny blood vessel breaks just underneath the clear surface of your eye (conjunctiva). In many ways, it’s just like having a bruise on your skin. The conjunctiva can’t absorb blood very quickly, so the blood gets trapped. You may not even realize you have a subconjunctival hemorrhage until you look in the mirror and notice that the white part of your eye is bright red. […] A broken blood vessel in the eye may look alarming, but it’s usually harmless. […] A subconjunctival hemorrhage often occurs without any obvious harm to your eye. Even a strong sneeze or cough can cause a blood vessel to break in the eye. You don’t need to treat it. A subconjunctival hemorrhage may look alarming, but it’s usually a harmless condition that disappears within two weeks or so.

  https://www.stockdaleoptometry.com/blog/subconjunctival-hemorrhage

  Similar to a bruise under the skin, a subconjunctival hemorrhage happens when a small blood vessel located between the sclera (white portion of an eye) and the conjunctiva (lining on the surface of an eye) breaks and covers the sclera with blood. […] Subconjunctival hemorrhage should not affect vision, cause pain, or lead to any changes in eye discharge. […] An eye care professional will diagnose subconjunctival hemorrhage by observation. If a trauma or injury to the eye is pinpointed as the cause of the subconjunctival hemorrhage, a more comprehensive eye exam will be necessary to check for further damage. Like bruises on the skin, subconjunctival hemorrhages clear up on their own without additional treatment. The blood will eventually absorb back into the eye and disappear. If caused by an infection or underlying medical condition, treatment for that underlying medical problem will be necessary.

[…] Many ocular and nonocular surgical procedures may prompt SCH by different mechanisms. […] SCH may appear at each step of ocular surgery, especially starting with anesthesia. […] Failure to resolve hemorrhage in persistent or recurrent cases suggests a serious underlying cause. […] A careful history is the most important step in identifying whether there is a serious underlying condition that may require more detailed examination and treatment.

[…] The incidence of SCH was reported as 2.9% in a study with 8726 patients, and increase with age was observed, particularly over 50 years of age. […] It is thought that this significant increase depends on the increase of prevalence of systemic hypertension after the age of 50 years; also, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and the use of anticoagulation therapy becomes more frequent with aging. […] Generally, SCH is most often seen in the inferior and temporal areas of the conjunctiva, but trauma causes localized hemorrhage at the site of injury, especially in the temporal areas.
