A broken blood vessel in the eye, also known as a subconjunctival hemorrhage, might look alarming but is usually harmless. Here are quick tips on how to heal it fast:
- Apply a cold compress: Use ice packs or a cloth soaked in cold water for 10-15 minutes, multiple times a day.
- Avoid strenuous activities: Refrain from heavy lifting or rigorous exercise to prevent further strain.
- Lubricate the eye: Over-the-counter artificial tears can help soothe irritation. (WebMD)
- Rest and relaxation: Ensure you get plenty of sleep and practice stress-reducing activities like meditation.
- Consult a doctor: If the condition persists or worsens, see a healthcare professional. (Mayo Clinic)
