Hello
It seems from the history that you had recurring episodes of broken blood vessel resulting in red spot called as subconjunctival hemorrhage. No treatment is required generally and it will resolve over 1-2 weeks.
But since you are having recurring episodes evaluation has to be done to find out the underlying cause. The common causes are eye trauma, rubbing of eyes, systemic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, bleeding and clotting disorders.....
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for evaluation.


Thank you
