How to Treat Busted Eye Blood Vessels

A broken eye blood vessel, also known as "subconjunctival hemorrhage," happens when a small blood vessel breaks underneath the clear surface of the eye known as the conjunctiva. Subconjunctival hemorrhage occurs normally when the eye has been injured or may be even as a result of a strong sneezing and coughing.

      Check with your doctor often if you are suffering from diabetic eye disease. This condition usually happens in people with severe diabetes when small and fragile blood vessels in the eye form and eventually break and leak, sometimes resulting in immediate loss of vision within the eye.
