Eye redness for the past week, help how to improve eye health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Red eyes: Have many possible causes. In the absence of any other symptoms, eye redness is not really a problem. You can try reducing this by using artificial tears on a regular basis. Do not use "get the red out" drops regularly because these just temporarily reduce eye redness but don't help the underlying cause of the problem. See your eye doctor for further suggestions.
