The redness in the eye from broken blood vessels usually goes away naturally after a week or two. Artificial tears can soothe the eyes but will not repair any broken blood vessels. Rubbing the eye can increase the risk of excess bleeding right after onset, so avoid rubbing your eyes for as long as possible. It is rare that health complications arise due to broken blood vessels in the eyes.
