A burst blood vessel in the eye is rarely serious enough to warrant medical attention.

Sneezing, coughing, high blood pressure, anxiety etc are all causes of burst blood vessels in the eye.

The last time I had a burst blood vessel in my eye it took 7 days to heal.

Burt blood vessels in the eye are rarely serious enough to need medical attention and they usually go away and heal on their own.

A subconjunctival hemorrhage is usually a harmless condition that disappears within two weeks or so but if not then you should see a doctor.

Stress, high blood pressure, anxiety etc can lead to burst blood vessels in the eye.

The time it takes for a subconjunctival hemorrhage which is a burst blood vessel in the eye to heal is between seven to ten days.

If the burst blood vessel or subconjunctival hemorrhage hasn't healed within 10 days then you should go to urgent care or the emergency room to make sure it's nothing more serious.

But most cases of burst blood vessels in the eye heal on their own within one week to 10 days without any medical treatment.

Although a burst blood vessel in the eye can sometimes seem serious they are mostly not serious enough to warrant any medical treatment.

The last time I had a burst blood vessel in my eye it went away within 7 days on it's own.
