Health Remedies - Red Eye
Red eyes are caused by enlarged, dilated blood vessels leading to the appearance of redness on the surface of the eye. There are many possible causes of a red eye or eyes. Bloodshot eyes appear red because the vessels in the surface of the white portion of the eye (sclera) become enlarged and irritated. This may result from extremely dry air, sun exposure, dust, foreign body, an allergic reaction, infection, trauma, or other conditions. Eye diseases such as blepharitis, conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers, uveitis etc. also may cause red eye. Another common cause of a red eye is straining or coughing. This can lead to a bright red, uniformly dense bloody area on the sclera.
