Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My eyes always appear to be red and bloodshot. They do not hurt and are not watery. I wear glasses that are getting old. What could be the cause?Kindly help.
Hello,
We welcome you to icliniq family.
I understand your concern.
There are many causes for redness of eyes like allergy, infection, inflammation, dry eyes, etc. If redness and itching are present it may be due to allergy. Redness along with pain, watery eyes, and decreased vision may be due to infection. Redness and pain may occur due to inflammation. Redness along with foreign body sensations may be due to dryness. If there is only redness then it is normal as slight exposure to dust, temperature, or air can make the eyes turn red in the morning. Stress may also cause redness. I suggest you follow a few instructions.Keep blinking a lot. Wash your eyes with fresh water. Have cold compresses. Use lubricating eye drops. These measures will help to keep your eyes healthy but it will not have any effect on redness. Treating redness alone is not necessary. Having said that you should consult a local ophthalmologist for proper examination. Kindly share photos of your eyes so that I may guide you better. I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
