I have had three blood vessels burst in my eyes over the last two months. I supposed that stress was responsible for the first two, but I did not consider myself under any duress at the time of the third. What causes this, and what can I do to speed healing?

The burst blood vessels you’re describing are subconjunctival hemorrhages. They occur among the many small and fragile blood vessels in the conjunctiva, the clear membrane that covers the whites of the eyes and lubricates and protects the eyeball.
