There’s no treatment for subconjunctival hemorrhage. “It’s similar to a bruise; it just takes time for it to go away,” says VanderBeek.There are no medicines, procedures, or home remedies to make it go away any faster, he says. It just needs time to heal.Prevention of a Subconjunctival HemorrhageIf you are playing sports, wearing protective goggles may prevent a subconjunctival hemorrhage caused by injury — and they’ll protect your eyes in a number of other ways, says VanderBeek.However, “a subconjunctival hemorrhage often happens when you’re just going about your daily life, so wearing goggles may not make a difference,” he says.If you have an underlying condition like diabetes or high blood pressure that may contribute to your risk of having a subconjunctival hemorrhage, controlling those conditions may help with prevention.
