You can break blood vessels
in your eye just from sneezing or coughing too hard. I was lying down in
a sauna when I sneezed. The combination of increased circulation and
the sudden burst of pressure caused some vessels to rupture, but it
didn't hurt or affect my vision. (I didn't even realize for almost an
hour!) Apparently, it's pretty common, so don't be scared if you puke or
go bungee jumping and come up with a bloody eye. It heals itself and
there are no meds for it. Using Visine or other "cures" can slow the
healing process.

This is what it looked like when it first happened. What a shock to find in the mirror!
