Red eye :
When the white part of the eye which is visible and is known as the sclera becomes red in certain cases it is also known as red eye. This redness can arise from either due to bursting of a tiny blood vessel or conjunctivitis. Red eye can occur due to different reasons like allergies, infections and dryness of the eyes. Red eyes are often associated with watery discharge from the eyes.
In most cases, red eye can be treated with lubricating eye drops and tablets containing antihistamines in case of allergies. Medical attention may be required where an Ophthalmologist can determine if further treatment is required if there is excessive swelling associated with Red eye.
