Red Eye

Common Causes of Red Eye:

• Dry Eyes: A lack of moisture can lead to redness and discomfort.
• Allergies: Pollen, dust, and other allergens can cause your eyes to become irritated and red.
• Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): This common eye infection leads to redness, itchiness, and swelling.
• Contact Lens Irritation: Overuse or improper cleaning of contact lenses can result in red eyes.
• Foreign Objects: Dust, debris, or small particles in the eye can cause redness and irritation.
• Eye Fatigue: Overexposure to screens or lack of sleep can strain the eyes, making them red.
• Stye: A painful, red, swollen bump on the edge of your eyelid (inner or outer) that looks like a pimple.

​​​​​​​When to Seek Care:

If redness in your eyes is accompanied by pain, blurred vision, discharge, sensitivity to light, flashes of light, or spots, it’s important to schedule an eye exam as soon as possible. Untreated eye issues can lead to more serious problems.
