A member asked:
I wake up every day with severe red eyes and gradually goes away. it happens every day. it started approximately a month ago. what could it be ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably dry eye: This is most common when first waking up and the redness is temporary. Artificial tears over the counter will help. Make sure it does NOT contain any redness or itching reliever in it. Just a pure lubricating drop. Use this through out the day and when waking up. Generally 3-4x/day. Take breaks from computer work. Dry eye is very common. If the redness persists, see an eye doctor. Good luck.
