See ophthalmologist : Not sure if you're seeing optometrist or ophthalmologist? But you need to have a full evaluation with a dilated funduscopic examination done to determine what else is cooking. An ophthalmologist should easily be able to treat if your red eye is due to inflammation, or allergy. Get a 3rd opinion if necessary!
