Brief Answer:
Observe only! Will clearly fully in 7-10days!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Am so sorry to hear about this blood in your eye. I have reviewed your information and the attached image. This is suggestive of subconjunctival hemorrhage. Most cases result from minor trauma that might not even be evident to you. The best approach forward is to monitor and expect spontaneous resolution within 7-10days.

If this happens again, then I will recommend a proper evaluation then. For now, there is no need for further evaluation or treatment at this time.

I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information or clarifications if need be.
