A Broken blood vessel on the surface of the eye will not last 2 years. Red blood cells have a life span of about 120 days so that not blood that has been there two years. There could be some blood pigments still there or a blood vessel non malignant tumor (angioma) or just a prominent vessel.
See an Eye MD ophthalmologist with a specialty of cornea/external disease for a proper diagnosis and a review of your options. Find one at www.aao.org

Thank you for your reply, I think it could be a prominent vessel, and I do hope that I can get rid of it, I will see and eye MD opthalmologist, I appreciate your reply.
I am in the UK do you know of the website here and can all of the above be treated in any case.
Thanking you.
From what hundreds of posters have told us here its hard to get the NHS to do anything. Good luck getting them to do something that likely is cosmetic. You likely will need to see an ophthalmologist in private practice clinic.

Many thanks for your advice, yes my GP was not interested to send me further, and my optician said it was a burst blood vessel so I will see a private ophthalmologist, at least I now know there is hope for me to get rid of it
