Question 1

how do you get rid of really red eyes after smoking weed?

Accepted Answer

Stop smoking: You eye is red from smoke entering the eye itself through the air.  So smoke in a well ventilated place.  A few get red eyes from the chemicals in the smoke which can dilate eye  vessels internally.  If that is the case you need to stop smoking.  I am guessing you are worried that the red eyes are a give away to your weed habit.  So don't smoke when that would be a problem.

Question 7

how to get rid of red eyes from overuse of visine?

Accepted Answer

Stop the visine: Visine in its most common form says on the label something like "gets the red out:".  While true, it is temporary and the drop is drying and leads to a quick hyperdilation of the blood vessels and more red.  Leading to reuse of the drop and eventually red much of the time.  Use only visine in the blue boxes or some other lubricating/tear replacement drop for your eye dryness. Dont use gets red out.

Question 8

how could i get rid of red eyes besides eye drops after i smoke weed?

Accepted Answer

Not tap water: Cool compresses are fairly effective. And occasional use of eye drops such as visine is also ok. Long term use of these eye drops (and smoking too!) is not safe. Tap water can contain bacteria that can be a problem, especially if you also wear contact lenses.

Other causes will need medical attention.
