Sometimes: If the redness is due to an inciting agent, then your ophthalmologist can get you the proper treatment to attenuate the redness.  If you simply have an excess of surface blood vessels in your conjunctiva then the only recourse is laser treatment to eliminate some of these vessels.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Vagina Tears w/ Sex: Sometimes the relatively thin membrane between the vagina and anus can tear a bit and bleed during sex. Pour woman's body lotion or coconut oil can be tried to lubricator the area and allow it to heal, allowing a period of abstinence to intervene while it heals. If that doesn't work, consult with your gynecologist. There is a simple, minor surgical procedure that can repair the tear.
