Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: If you have a dry eye condition that is causing it, you can try over the counter artificial tears. Avoid situations that aggregate it such as exposure to dry air, smoke or allergens. Allergies usually have a trigger, such as cosmetics, so eliminating them will help. Using allergy drops for short periods of time may help to ease symptoms. If condition persists longer than several weeks seek care.

i have bloodshot eyes?any way to get rid of them?

Accepted Answer

Topical lubricants: Most chronic red eyes are due to eye dryness.  Try using lubricant eyedrops and plain eye ointment at night.  Some chronic redness is due to excess vessels on the surface of the eye.  Removal will require laser surgery.

Question 8

does using a laptop a lot give you bloodshot eyes?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: The laptop computer itself does not cause red eyes, but staring at the computer for long periods of time allows the eyes to dry out, which can produce redness. Using artificial tears and/or taking frequent rest periods thought the duration of continued computer work can be helpful. See your eye doctor for other strategies which may be helpful.

Question 9

why is the side of my eye bloodshot all of a sudden?

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhage: The most common cause of a red eye on one part is innocuous bleeding under the conjunctiva due to a weak eye vessel.  These usually cause no pain and do not affect the vision.  And will spontaneously clear without the need for treatment.  If there is pain, or the vision is changed, then it should be evaluated by your ophthalmologist.

Question 10

what can be done about red, swollen, bloodshot eyes?

Accepted Answer

Find the cause: Redness and swelling are general markers of inflammation. The inflammation could have several causes, each treated differently. You can try lubricating drops but the best thing would be to see an eye doctor for diagnosis and proper treatment.
