  I am sorry to hear that kind of news. But you should not panic, what you need to do is to take more time to rest and relax your eyes, avoid watching TV or playing video games, do as much as possible to protect your eyes, and have a healthy diet, typically, it takes about one week before your eyes recover. But if things remain serious as they were, you'd better go and see a doctor.

  If the broken blood vessel is under the clear membrane over the white part of the eye, no treatment is necessary and the blood will gradually go away within a week without treatment. If the broken blood vessel is inside of the eyeball, a retina specialist may need to treat the broken vessel with a laser to prevent more bleeding.

You just need to apply cold cloth to cover your eyes for three days and apply warm cloth to cover your eyes for another three days as well.
