Conclusion
Although a ruptured blood vessel in the eye can appear to be a catastrophic injury, there is usually little need for concern. Popped vessels in the eye can occur quite frequently. They can be brought on by scratching your eyes, sneezing, coughing, or by putting on or taking off your contact lenses.
In most cases, a burst blood vessel in the eye heals on its own in 1 to 2 weeks. Usually, it doesn’t need to be treated.
But if you frequently experience bursting blood vessels in your eyes, have been hurt, or experience other symptoms, it’s crucial to contact a doctor to check if there are any underlying problems that need to be resolved.
