It's a blood clot. Nothing to worry as long as your vision is ok. There is no use of tobastar. You can use lubricating eye drop instead.

This is subconjunctival haemorrhage. You can use Tobastar eye drops.
Please check your BP.
It will take about 10-15 days to resolve completely.
Please consult an ophthalmologist online or in clinic for proper understanding of your problem.

It's a subconjunctival bleed.
It can occur after a sudden or severe sneeze or cough, heavy lifting, straining, vomiting or even rubbing one's eyes too roughly.
It can also occur as a side effect of eye surgery or blood thinners or sudden shoot up of blood pressure.
It is mostly self resolving.
Usually it disappears within two weeks.
Warning signs should be ruled out like pain, diminished vision, floaters means floating mosquito in front of eye etc.
Blood pressure should be checked.
Avoid rubbing
Maintain hygeine
Avoid weight lifting.
Avoid any strains
