If this is a subconjunctival hemorrhage (broken blood vessel in the white of the eye), as long as you equalize your mask well, it should present no issue at all with diving. The diagnostic criteria for a subconjunctival hemorrhage are that it is painless, bright red, doesn't extend into or over the cornea (the clear part covering the colored area (iris) of the eye), isn't due to any significant trauma, and doesn't affect vision.

It is not possible for anybody to diagnose your eye issue well over the internet. But that's the best information I can give you.
