Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Looks like a sub-conjunctival tear .If that is the case it will heal in two to three weeks . if it doesn't you can go and show the doctor again and he might suture it . but most of the sub-conjunctival tears are not sutured as they heal of their own.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
