Broken blood vessels eyes is known as subconjunctival hemorrhage, which occurs when the blood vessel underneath the surface of the eye break. And the blood becomes visible when the conjunctiva could not absorb blood quickly enough. However, it is not easy to notice because of no pain. The certain cause of subconjunctival hemorrhange is unknown, even some physical actions could cause it as well, such as sneezing, heavy lifting, coughing.
