Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having a broken blood vessel following rubbing of the eyes.
This is called as subconjunctival hemorrhage and this is not contagious and it will not spread to your other eye or to others, hence no need to worry.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
Dr. Dadapeer K
