Introduction: Subconjunctival Hemorrhage (SCH) is a common condition of the eye that has distinct characteristic features, such as the acute appearance of a sharply circumscribed redness of bleeding underneath the conjunctiva in the absence of discharge, and inflammation in the affected areas, which is painless. We are now disclosing a case of subconjunctival bleeding caused by local minor trauma and eye rubbing. This case was unique as the healing time, which was usually 1 to 2 weeks, was reduced to 5 days after the intervention of ayurvedic formulations. Case Presentation: A 60-year-old man who had redness in his left eye for one day came to the OPD setting. Redness and inflammation were present, as shown by direct clinical questioning. Later, a clinical examination confirmed both symptoms. A subconjunctival hemorrhage was confirmed by the way the eye appeared. Conclusion: Subconjunctival hemorrhage may exhibit signs of other conditions that pose a risk to the eyes. To make a distinction between those causes and localized subconjunctival hemorrhage, a clinical assessment was necessary.
