Can you get blood shot eyes that lead to blindness if you don't get enough sleep?

No: Blood shot eyes when sleep deprived are usually a sign of dryness and irritation. Try some artificial tears and trying to adhere to a regular sleep / wake cycle.

No: Red eyes from lack of sleep is due to prolonged eye exposure to air and irritants causing surface inflammation with resultant redness.
