Red Eye

Red eye refers to the condition where the white part of the eye (sclera) appears red or bloodshot due to increased blood flow or inflammation. This redness often signals irritation, infection, allergies, or other eye conditions. Causes can include conjunctivitis (pink eye), dryness, eye strain, or minor injuries. While typically harmless, persistent or severe redness accompanied by pain, vision changes, or discharge should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to identify and treat the underlying issue effectively.
