Red Eye

"Red eye" is a term used to describe a condition in which the white part of the eye (the sclera) becomes red or bloodshot. This redness occurs when the blood vessels on the surface of the eye become swollen or dilated. Red eye can result from a variety of causes, ranging from benign to serious conditions.

Common Causes:

Allergies


Infections


Dryness


Increase in screen time


Environmental factors


If you experience persistent or severe symptoms, it is important to seek evaluation from an eye care professional to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
