Accepted Answer

Possible pink eye: Pink eye or conjunctivitis is inflammation of the surface of the eye, usually from a virus or bacteria, and there is usually mucous discharge.  It is usually associated with URI and occasionally ear infection and is considered contagious, so avoid contact with others.   Allergies can also cause the eye to get red and tear, but usually bilateral and no discharge.  Contact your doctor for exam.

should i be concerned about redness in the corner of eyes?

Accepted Answer

Could be allergic: If the crusting increases, or the eye is painful and draining, it may be a pink eye.
only bacterial conjunctivitis needs treatment. You could try an OTC product called Zaditor (ketotifen) eye drops.
If any worse it should be evaluated by a doctor.

Question 8

i am always my eyes red and increases the redness when read or work on the computer or watching television for a long time what does work glasses?

Accepted Answer

Lubricating eyedrops: work! When you are doing that amount of concentrated work, you are not blinking as often as you'd be normally, and this is causing dryness or evaporation of your tear film that normally lubricates your eyes. So, you need to use nonpreservative lubricating or artificial tear drops as needed when doing this amount of 'staring'. When you are on the computer, you blink less to unconsciously.

Question 9

my daughter has redness on her eyelids, corner of her eyes, and under her eye, but the eye itself is fine. im not sure whats wrong. ?

Accepted Answer

Eyelids red: It sounds like eyelid skin irritation. If red, you can try 1% hydrocortisone ointment to the lids.  If flaky or crusty,
one can get antibiotic ointment for the lids from the eye doctor (blepharitis, like eczema of the lids).

Question 10

my 2.5 month baby started to rub her eyes all the time. she also have some redness on her lid.  and she also has red vessel inside her eyes.

Accepted Answer

Eye allergy: Your baby may have developed an eye allergy probably caused by her stuffed animals, or blanket. Red vessels are blood vessels caused byher eye rubbing. .Remove any possible allergy cause and if necessary pick up some anti allergy eye drops and use twice daily
