What could cause a blood spot in my eye?

Answer by  sallyflutterbee (32)

A blood spot in the eye is a broken capillary, which could be caused by supressing a sneeze. The immense pressure created internally when a sneeze is held in rather than let out commonly causes broken capillaries in the eye, which are then seen as tiny spots of blood. Always let your sneezes out, covering your mouth when you do!

Your eyes, like all of your body, are filled with the smallest type of blood vessels, which are known as capillaries. These capillaries are very thin and can easily rupture. In the eye, pressure can cause this to happen. A commom cause is frequent vomiting.

A blood post in the eye could be something in it agitating the eye, or possibly a busted blood vessel.
