A member asked:

Can lemon juice cause the eyes to get bloodshot for a few days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Lemon juice is irritating and might redden the eyes for a few hours. If the redness lasts for days then there is another problem which your ophthalmologist can identify for you.
