If no pain and no decrease in vision you don't need to do anything to the tiny broken blood vessel.

so grateful that you replied my post so quickly as I am quite in distraught. I am just wondering how long does that redness go away (looks scary)? and any drops I can use? also, does the redness somehow 'bleed' into the eye ball?thanks again! much appreciated!
Its like a bruise and generally takes the same amount of time. The eye will turn yellow after the red then generally whiten up over 10-14 days for most subconjunctival hemorrhages. You can use artifical tears if you have a scratch feeling otherwise leave it along (like a bruise).
