Brief Answer:
Conjunctival injury

Detailed Answer:
Hi
By the images you sent, it seems that it is a superficial scleral- conjuctival injury ( Abrasion ). As the clot is present, therefore, bleeding seems to be stopped & you need only conservative treatment, which you are taking. Still, I am of the opinion that as there is break in the continuity of conjunctiva or conjunctiva +superficial sclera, an antibiotic eye drops with/ without oral antibiotic may be advisable depending on the extent of injury.
However, though,the likelihood is minimum, still if there is persistence/aggravation of pain or the swelling in lids increase, it is an indication for a further re-evaluation by an ophthalmologist.
Thanks.
