Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. The ruptured blood vessel-like appearance is called a sub-conjunctival haemorrhage, and some of the most common causes for an abrupt appearance are:

+Violent coughing
+Lifting of heavy objects
+Vomiting
+Violent sneezing
+Eye infections
+Violently rubbing your eyes
+Eye infections
+Fluctuations of blood pressure
+Medications (e.g. blood thinning medications)
+Diabetes

So the medications you are on could clearly be the cause for your presentation, for this reason I would urge you to visit your doctor for a physical examination and further evaluation. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you.

Best wishes sir.
