Eye allergy symptoms can also be accompanied by other allergy symptoms, such as sneezing and an itchy, running nose.If you get poked in the eye or something flies into your eye, the injury can cause bleeding. Even mild trauma, such as when you rub your eyes a bit too hard, can result in broken capillaries and red spots. Glaucoma is a condition where the pressure in your eye increases due to the eye producing more fluid than the normal rate. This can damage your optic nerve, potentially leading to vision loss. It is not always possible to prevent blood spots on the white of the eye. Some causes of subconjunctival hemorrhage are largely unavoidable.
