Detailed Answer:
Hello

After going to the medical query raised by you I can very well understand your concern and I would like to tell you that if the blood clot is over the white portion of your eye then most likely it is due to some foreign body lodging in the eye thereby causing trauma.

Also sometime hard scratching of the eyeball can also lead to such minor bleed in the eye.

If you are not experiencing any kind of vision problem of burning sensation in the eyes then there is nothing to worry for. For the time being just rinse your eyes with cold and clean water and gently wipe them off and try not to rub them again.

However if at any point of time you feel any blurring in your vision or any some sort of blind spots appearing in front of your eyes or any coloured halos then it becomes important to consult an ophthalmologist as early as possible.

I hope this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
