Brief Answer:
This indicates subconjunctival hemorrhage.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I am Dr Dadapeer k an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history.
This indicates subconjunctival hemorrhage because of impact of injury. This is because of collection of blood under conjunctiva.
This will resolve slowly as the blood gets absorbed and no treatment is required for this.
Use of cold compression will help in early resolution of symptoms.

I would suggest for a eye examination to rule out any associated eye injuries


Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
