A member asked:

Can you tell me, my eyes are kind of red also. should i buy any type of eye drops?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Red eyes: Are often associated with sunlight, cigarette smoke, dry eyes, and many other possible causes. As a first treatment, use artificial tears in both eyes several times a day for a week or two. If this doesn't help, see your eye doctor. Try avoiding "get the red out" drops, since these are not good to use on a long-term basis.
