It is unlikely that it will cause bleeding behind the eye. The eyes are affected in 15% of people with sarcoidosis. Inflammation of certain internal eye structures (uveitis) makes the eyes red and painful and interferes with vision. Inflammation that persists for a long time may block fluid from draining from the eye, causing glaucoma, which can lead to blindness. Granulomas may form in the conjunctiva (the membrane over the eyeball and inside the eyelids). Such granulomas often do not cause symptoms, but the conjunctiva is an accessible site from which doctors can take tissue samples for examination. Some people with sarcoidosis complain of dry, sore, and red eyes, probably because sluggish tear glands that have been affected by the disorder no longer produce enough tears to keep the eyes lubricated.

Is bleeding behind the eye dangerous?

Yes, it can be. Just last September I bounced a ball into my eye(left) and everyone thought I was just going to get a black eye. But no. It had expanded the eye and it it had pressed on something that had made it bleed behind. My coloured ring outside the pupil started filling up with blood and turned black, I had to do no sports and had to sleep sitting up for two months! My left eye is still bigger and the pupil is visually bigger and I could've gone blind. But it depends how you do it most of the time.
