  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). […] 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. […] The cause of a subconjunctival hemorrhage isn’t always known. The following actions may cause a small blood vessel to rupture in your eye: […] In some cases, a subconjunctival hemorrhage may result from an eye injury, including: […] Risk factors for a subconjunctival hemorrhage include: […] Health complications from a subconjunctival hemorrhage are rare. […] If the bleeding on the surface of your eye has a clearly identifiable cause, such as a bleeding disorder or blood-thinning medication, ask your doctor if you can take any steps to reduce the risk of a subconjunctival hemorrhage.

  Subconjunctival hemorrhage is a common ocular complaint that most clinicians will see in their practice. […] SCH results from bleeding of the conjunctival or episcleral blood vessels and subsequently leaks into the subconjunctival space. Blood vessels can wear and tear over time. The elastic and connective tissues become fragile with age and underlying comorbidities, which can ease the spread of the bleeding in the elderly. […] 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. […] Traumatic SCH is more localized to the site of impact compared to spontaneous. There is a predilection for SCH to develop on the temporal aspect of the eye since the bulbar conjunctiva of the temporal aspect is larger than the nasal aspect.

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17713-subconjunctival-hemorrhage

  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. The blood causes the white of your eye (sclera) to turn bright red. […] 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. […] Subconjunctival hemorrhages sometimes happen without a direct cause (a healthcare provider might say they happened idiopathically). […] In most cases, subconjunctival hemorrhages are harmless and dont cause any complications. Rarely, they may be a sign of a serious underlying disorder, such as vascular disease.

• #4 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. […] Histologically, SCH can be defined as hemorrhage between the conjunctiva and episclera, and the blood elements are found in the substantia propria of the conjunctiva when a subconjunctival vessel breaks. […] 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. […] The fibrous connections under the conjunctiva, including elastic and connective tissues, become more fragile with age, and this can be the reason for easy spread of hemorrhage in older patients. […] 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.

  https://eyewiki.org/Subconjunctival_Hemorrhage

  Subconjunctival hemorrhage (SCH) is a common cause of red eye that does not impact visual acuity. This benign, generally painless, condition refers to the rupture of a blood vessel in the subconjunctival space located between the superficial conjunctiva and the tenons capsule. This appears as an often-flat area of bleeding under the conjunctiva. If severe, it can appear bullous. […] There are a few mechanisms that have been reported regarding the development of SCH. There is damage of the conjunctival vessels which leads to hemorrhage in the space between Tenon’s capsule and the conjunctiva. In younger individuals, the bleeding rarely extends under the entire conjunctiva, however in older adults, the elastic and connective tissues between the Tenon’s capsule and conjunctival is more fragile allowing for easier spread of SCH.

  Subconjunctival hemorrhage is when one or more blood spots appear on the white of your eye. The eyes conjunctiva contains a lot of tiny blood vessels that can break. If they break, blood leaks between the conjunctiva and sclera. This bleeding is the bright red spot that you see on the white of your eye. […] Coughing, sneezing, straining, or other similar actions most commonly cause subconjunctival hemorrhages. This is because they briefly raise blood pressure in your veins. That quick pressure rise can cause capillaries to break. […] Trauma or injury to the eye can also cause subconjunctival hemorrhage. Even rubbing your eyes too hard might cause capillaries to break. […] Rarely, subconjunctival hemorrhage is caused by a blood clotting disorder or other blood problem that affects your whole body.

• #12 Subconjunctival Hemorrhage Causes, Symptoms, Pain, Treatment

  https://www.medicinenet.com/subconjunctival_hemorrhage/article.htm

  A subconjunctival hemorrhage is blood from a tiny broken blood vessel located between the conjunctiva and the underlying sclera. […] These blood vessels are somewhat fragile and their walls break easily, resulting in a subconjunctival hemorrhage (bleeding under the conjunctiva). […] Subconjunctival hemorrhage can also be non-spontaneous and result from hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, a severe eye infection, trauma to the head or eye, or after cataract surgery, other eye surgery, or eyelid surgery. […] The prognosis of subconjunctival hemorrhage is excellent when it occurs in the absence of trauma. It will spontaneously become smaller and disappear in less than two weeks. It will cause no scarring visual loss or other ocular changes. […] A subconjunctival hemorrhage will not cause any complications unless it is associated with trauma to the eye or a recent history of easy bruising.

  Subconjunctival Hemmorrage The conjunctiva is the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye (sclera). It protects and lubricates the eyeball and also allows the eye to turn easily. The conjunctiva covers many small, rather fragile blood vessels. Rupture of one of these small vessels or capillaries results in a SUBCONJUNCTIVAL HEMORRHAGE. This appears as a sharply outlined bright red spot on the sclera. This rapid-onset appearance of „blood” on the eye is one of the most common reasons patients present to the eye doctor with dramatic concern. A subconjunctival hemorrhage is a sudden filling or partial filling of the whites of the eye with blood. It usually follows a trauma to the eye. Other causes include coughing, sneezing, vomiting, strangulation, constipation, and seizure. The most common cause is simple rubbing of the eyes. This mechanically distorts the conjunctiva, bursting open one of the small blood vessels.

  One of the most common causes of subconjunctival hemorrhage is a sudden increase in blood pressure in the small, delicate vessels of the eye. This can occur due to: Coughing or Sneezing: These sudden, forceful actions can increase pressure in the blood vessels around the eyes. Heavy Lifting or Straining: Physical exertion that leads to straining can also cause these tiny blood vessels to rupture. Vomiting: The intense physical stress from vomiting can lead to a subconjunctival hemorrhage.
