Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query on XXXXXXX
I have seen the image sent by you.
The red patch seems like a sub-conjunctival bleed. It means that some blood has oozed under the transparent lining of the eye. It is harmless and will resolve spontaneously in a few days. It may have happened due to rubbing of eye. Mostly the cause is unknown.
Let me know if you have any doubts.
Regards
Dr Vaishalee
