burst blood vessel in eye?

[TsPoet]

I've been exercising a lot lately... the spring thing that I always do. I don't know if that's related or not but last night friends started asking me what was wrong with my eye. I blew it off, it feels fine and I didn't know what they were talking about.
I just looked - my right eye is full of blood. It doesn't hurt (well it does now, but you say the word "headache" to me and I get a headache, so I think it's psychosomatic).
I'm wondering if I should
A) ignore it, it will go away
B) go to a doctor
C) go to an ophthalmologist (I have one, as a Type 1 diabetic eye issues are a big deal, so I go to an ophthalmologist, not an optometrist).

Have you been coughing or lifted anything heavy?

I get burst blood vessels in my eyes sometimes during allergy season from coughing..... (they always just go away without any intervention).

the first folks that noticed were at crossfit - but that was before the workout. So, no.
But, this week I:
Tuesday: 40k TT, then rode the bike to pick up my car at the shop.
Weds: Jog 2 miles (personal best of 12.3 min/mi)
Thurs: Crossfit (but my eye was already looking weird).
I have been working up to this level of activity, but it's a jump from previous week.

I've had this too. It looks worse than it is. No pain. It will clear up in a couple days. I think if it happened frequently you would want to go to a doctor just to be sure, or if it does not show signs of dissapating within a day or so.

I generally agree withe previous posts, but can you explain more what you mean by "full of blood"?

I've had problems in the past with big red spots on my eye, but they've been about the diameter of a pencil eraser. They went away on their own in a few days. But if you really mean the whole white of your eye is very red, that might be something different, and you might want to call your opthamologist to ask if you should have it looked at.

It's not red, it's blood. A burst vessel or something in the corner of my eye. I injure my eye all the time, and don't worry about it. I'm only (slightly) worried because I don't know the cause of this.
But, I did call my ophthalmologist. The receptionist said if I wasn't a diabetic, they'd tell me to wait until Monday, but as a diabetic, she made an apt for this morning. It's probably nothing, but they are extra cautious.
So, thanks. I'm betting it's nothing.
