Hello
It seems from the history that you are having after cataract for which you are advised tag laser capsulotomy.
This is a simple and safe procedure and this can be done under topical anesthesia.
The broken blood vessel probably subconjunctival hemorrhage is not a contraindication for the tag capsulotomy and you can safely undergo the procedure, no need to worry.

Thank you
