There has been a great deal of research on turmeric's anti-cancer properties, but results are still very preliminary. Evidence from test tube and animal studies suggests that curcumin may help prevent or treat several types of cancers, including prostate, breast, skin, and colon cancer.
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. Often, there is no history of trauma to the eye -- the blood simply appears spontaneously.
Should I see an eye doctor? Answer. A broken blood vessel in the eye can look very alarming, but will not cause any damage to your eyesight. What happens is that the conjunctiva contains many small, fragile blood vessels that are easily broken, and the blood is leaked into the space between conjunctiva and sclera. Since conjunctiva does not cover the iris of the eye, it is not possible for the leaked blood to cause damage to your vision.
