A member asked:
My eyes have a lot of red veins, and i've treated them could i have artificial tears allergy?

Unlikely: While it is possible to have reactions to the preservatives used in artifical tears, it is not common. You could try preservative free artificial tears. A better solution would be to see an eye doctor in order to determine the cause of the inflammation in the eye resulting in redness.
