Question 1

could i have uvertis even though eye exam was good?didnt ask about redness since inside eye was good. side of eyes are red eyes white before june.

Accepted Answer

Uveitis=pain: Uveitis usually is associated with significant pain not just redness. If you saw an ophthalmologist and they performed a complete exam of your eye they should have been able to see the other findings of uveitis. More common causes of redness that has been going on for several months are allergic reactions, dust exposure, sun exposure, and lack of sleep.

Question 2

red eyes from sinus infection..how to reduce the redness?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotic RX: 1st see if you have a true infectious sinusitis which may require antibiotics. Your eyes may clear with that. Any "red eye" that persists beyond 2 weeks should be assessed. Most viral self limited redness will clear by then. Any redness associated with visual loss should be assessed urgently.

Question 3

i have pain infront of head,,red eyes,,watery fluid in nose and redness in the nostrils?

Accepted Answer

Allergies?: Sounds like springtime allergies. Consider some sort of antihistamine such as loratidine for a trial for a week and see if that helps. If not, see your primary care provider for a more complete evaluation. Hope this helps!

Question 4

no pain, no itching, just red eyes. condition i've had throughout my life. tried many eye drops, mostly artificial tears. ways to prevent redness?

Accepted Answer

Scleritis?: You may have allergies and there are some good allergy drops that can help.  Play detective and avoiding irritants can also help (second hand smoke for example, etc).  Visine may be an option too, simply to "get the red out", but having yourself officially diagnosed as to why your eyes are always red, is your best option, and an ophthalmologist would be the dr., to see. Best wishes.

Question 5

i woke up 2days ago with a red eye. no pains no itches no discharge, just redness. what are the possible causes.

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: A simple red eye can be literally hundreds of things.  But in general if it is only red with no other symptoms like pain, itching, irritation, tearing, discharge, blurred vision it is unlikely to be anything to worry about.  Watch for other symptoms and if they occur you should see an eye doc.

Question 6

i have red eyes and eatching?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: You likely have ocular allergies.  Try chilled artificial tears, cool compresses, topical and/or oral allergy meds.

Question 7

what are the causes of red eyes?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Inflammation or irritation
or just bleeding.

Question 8

how do i treat dry and red eyes?

Accepted Answer

Lubricants: There are many over the counter tear replacement and lubrication drops and ointments.  As long as your vision is fine, there is no pus and no pain, you can try these for a while and need to see an ophthalmologist only if the condition persists.

Question 9

what causes red eyes after shower?

Accepted Answer

Multiple factors: There are multiple factors.  Certainly getting soap or other chemicals into the eyes will make them red.  Just the heat from the steam and hot water is enough to dilate the blood vessels of the conjunctiva which makes the eyes look red.

Question 10

what can cause me to have red eyes?

Accepted Answer

Many Possibilities: This is a broad question with many possible answers. Most commonly, chronic redness can come from inflammatory conditions including eye allergies, eye dryness, eye rubbing, episcleritis (a surface inflammation), and/or subconjunctival hemorrhages (small burst blood vessels on the whites of the eyes). Start with artificial tears for lubrication & make sure not to rub the eyes; see eye md if needed.
