Subconjunctival bleeding occurs in about 2% of newborns following a vaginal delivery. The blood accumulates between the conjunctiva and the episclera.

Hyphema is a result of blunt or penetrating trauma to the orbit that increases intraocular pressure, causing tears in the vessels of the ciliary body and iris .

[1] The eye may also appear to have a reddish tinge, or it may appear as a small pool of blood at the bottom of the iris in the cornea.

The bulbar conjunctival microvasculature is known to dilate in response to several stimuli and external conditions, including allergens (e.g. pollen), [32] temperature, [33] time-of-day, [33] contact-lens wear, [13] and acute mild hypoxia. [24] Bulbar conjunctival vasodilation has also been shown to correlate changes in emotional state. [34]
