Your Eyes are Bloodshot
Everyone gets bloodshot eyes occasionally and it isn’t usually a major concern. However, if your eyes are sore or you have impaired vision it may be a sign of a bigger problem.
Occasionally a bright red spot, called a sub conjunctival hemorrhage, will show up in the white of the eye. This is caused by a broken blood vessel in the eye and can happen for a variety of reasons including straining your eyes or excessive coughing. Most of the time there is no pain and, just like a bruise, the red spot will go away on its own within a couple of weeks.
