A member asked:

How come i wake up with red watery eyes that burned ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Red eyes : There can be many reasons for red eyes. Among them are dryness, allergy, inflammation or infection. Try using over the counter lubricating drops first. If there is no improvement, see an eye doctor to have your eyes checked out.
