Vigorous coughing is one possible reason for burst eye capillaries. Photo Credit Thinkstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images. When a capillary in the white part of the eye bursts -- called a subconjunctival hemorrhage -- the appearance of blood can be rather dramatic and alarming.

Suffering from dark eye circles around the eyes is one of the most common complaints of people. The dark circles are often caused by broken capillaries on the lower eyelids and under the eyes. This condition may appear in early childhood and is usually hereditary in nature.

Tip #1: Know what broken capillaries are. Most people call them broken blood vessels but they are not actually broken blood vessels. What they see is the visible blood vessels on the skin where they do not often see blood vessels. These small blood vessels are called arterioles, venules, and capillaries. Arterioles works by carrying fresh blood to the skin, while venules takes the old blood away back to heart and lungs to be refreshed with oxygen.
