Does a broken blood vessel in the eye get worse before better?
Normally they get better by themselves unless there is a serious cause for it. If you notice the blood early, it may look like a small spot, but then get larger until the blood vesel heals itself. In this situation, it seems to be getting worse. Usually the blood vessel heals on its own like a cut in the skin, then the blood will be absorbed by other blood vessels and the redness will disappear on its own. If the blood does not go away within a day, go to a doctor as it could be something serious. So keep an eye on it.

Above it says that if the blood should not go away within a day call a doctor; however, if you really did burst a blood vessel it will take much longer than a day for it to heal. Doctors often say that as long as you don’t feel pain or change in vision then it is just a burst blood vessel and it often takes weeks to fully heal (depending on the size). No blood vessel heals in a day, it takes time.
