How do you get rid of red eyes after over use of eye drops ?

Stop the drops : Red eyes are not specific. You need to see an eye doctor who can find out why your eyes are red and treat the cause. Some otc allergy drops have a rebound effect and you need to stop the drop and use preservative free tear drops instead until you determine the cause.

Wait: This will resolve without treatment in 1-2 weeks. You can use artificial tears if your eyes are irritated.
