A member asked:

What happens if my eyes are red 24/7 does that mean i need glasses?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: In most cases uncorrected vision does not cause eye redness Causes of chronic redness include, allergies, eye dryness, certain surface changes including keratitis. Redness alone, in the face of normal vision, only means that this needs to be addressed but that eyeglass correction is probably not needed.
