Sudden bleeding of the eye is caused by subconjunctival hemorrhage, which is generally considered to be caused by rupture of small blood vessels on the eye surface. It may be related to factors such as trauma, cough, constipation, hypertension, diabetes, etc. If there is trauma, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible. If it does not affect vision and is not injured, this situation can be temporarily observed first. Cold compress and antibiotic eye drops are given within 48 hours.
