  The conjunctiva, or membrane that covers the white of your eye, contains many tiny blood vessels that can break, resulting in whats called a subconjunctival hemorrhage on your eyes surface. […] Subconjunctival hemorrhage is the term for a broken blood vessel that bleeds on the surface of your eye. […] The clear membrane that lines the inside of your eyelid and covers the white of your eye is called the conjunctiva. It contains many tiny blood vessels (capillaries) that can break easily. When a break happens, blood can leak under the conjunctiva. […] Some activities and health conditions can briefly raise the blood pressure in your veins. This quick rise in pressure can cause the blood vessels on your eyes to break. These conditions may include: Straining (during coughing, sneezing, vomiting or while using the toilet). Injury to your head or eye, including infection. Lifting, pushing or bending forward. Rubbing your eye too hard. Wearing contact lenses.

[…] Certain underlying health issues and medications make blood vessels more prone to breaking: High blood pressure can strain the vascular system, including the delicate vessels in your eyes. […] Medications like aspirin or warfarin can increase the risk of subconjunctival hemorrhages by affecting clotting. […] Conditions that impact the blood’s ability to clot can also make these vessels more susceptible to rupture. […] Sometimes, environmental or daily habits contribute to the development of broken blood vessels: Dry air or allergens can irritate your eyes and prompt frequent rubbing. […] Exposure to certain environmental irritants can aggravate your eyes. […] Spending extended periods of time staring at a screen without breaks may strain your eyes, making you more likely to rub them. […] If you experience this condition frequently, it might indicate an underlying issue, such as unmanaged hypertension or a blood disorder. […] Conditions that impact the blood’s ability to clot can also make these vessels more susceptible to rupture.

  A subconjunctival hemorrhage occurs when small blood vessels beneath the conjunctiva, the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye, break and leak blood. […] Subconjunctival hemorrhage can occur for several reasons, ranging from minor eye irritation to more serious underlying health conditions. […] One of the most common causes of subconjunctival hemorrhage is a sudden increase in blood pressure in the small, delicate vessels of the eye. […] Direct injury to the eye, even minor ones, can result in subconjunctival hemorrhage. […] Several underlying health issues can increase the likelihood of developing a subconjunctival hemorrhage, particularly those affecting blood circulation and pressure. […] Chronic high blood pressure can weaken the blood vessels in the eyes, making them more prone to rupturing.

  It sounds like you have a broken blood vessel in your eye, which is also known as a subconjunctival hemorrhage. […] The problem often occurs with no obvious trauma to the eye even a strong cough or sneeze can cause a blood vessel just below the surface to break. […] Subconjunctival hemorrhage is also very common among people who wear contact lenses, who routinely place pressure on their eyeballs when putting lenses in or taking them out.

• #108 Subconjunctival hemorrhage: risk factors and potential indicators

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3702240/

  Subconjunctival hemorrhage is a benign disorder that is a common cause of acute ocular redness. The major risk factors include trauma and contact lens usage in younger patients, whereas among the elderly, systemic vascular diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and arteriosclerosis are more common. […] The first study on the risk factors was reported by Fukuyama et al in 1990, who showed that local trauma, systemic hypertension, acute conjunctivitis, and diabetes mellitus were the main causes or associated conditions of SCH. […] Mimura et al showed that the major risk factors for SCH are trauma and contact lens usage in younger patients, and among older patients it is mostly associated with systemic vascular disorders, such as systemic hypertension, diabetes, and arteriosclerosis, which causes the walls of the blood vessels to become fragile.

  Subconjunctival hemorrhage is a common ocular complaint that most clinicians will see in their practice. This topic describes its causes and the context in which SCH can be present. […] SCH can be differentiated into 2 categories: traumatic vs spontaneous. Traumatic incidences of SCH have risen secondary to the increased use of contact lenses as well as the number of people undergoing ocular surgeries. […] The biggest risk factor for spontaneous SCH is hypertension and other vascular disorders like diabetes and hyperlipidemia. These diseases can cause blood vessels to become fragile and spontaneously rupture. Hypertension is the major risk factor for SCH, regardless of whether the blood pressure is controlled by medication. […] Spontaneous causes include elevated venous pressures such as coughing, vomiting, strenuous exercise/lifting, and Valsalva maneuvers.

  The fragility of conjunctival vessels, as well as every other vessel elsewhere in the body, increases with age and as a result of arteriosclerosis, systemic hypertension, and diabetes. […] Severe SCH can result from uncontrolled hypertension, but it is also known that systemic hypertension may cause SCH even if it is controlled with drugs, because patients with hypertension tend to have microvascular changes in small vessels and in conjunctival vessels. […] Anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies, including aspirin, dipyridamole, clopidogrel, warfarin, and dabigatran (direct thrombin inhibitor), may prompt recurrent SCHs.
