I have a broken blood vessel in my eye. I have been to the doctor twice and they have both said it should clear up on its own. It has been there for 3 weeks already and still looks the same. it is a small red dot with lighter connecting vessels. Has anyone had anything similar and how long did it take to heal? Is there anything I can do to make it go away quicker. Is it possible it could be permanent? Any comments would be greatly appreciated

One thing don't rub the eye anymore that could cause it dry eye condition can cause it You think the eye doctor you have told you to use eye drops to help it or go for another opinion . Hope it heal soon. Have you tried a cold compress?

Take care
