When you look in the mirror and see the whites of your eyes (the sclera) turn red or pink, it can certainly be alarming. There are many ways this redness can manifest: sometimes it's a wavy network of red blood vessels across the eyeball, sometimes it's a sudden, noticeable red patch, and sometimes the entire white of the eye simply appears a dull pink. What's more annoying is that red eyes rarely occur alone; they are usually accompanied by burning, itching, a dull ache, blurred vision, or constant tearing.
While in most cases, bloodshot or red eyes are just a temporary, minor physical reaction and nothing to worry about, the discomfort can be quite bothersome. However, we need to be vigilant because red eyes can sometimes be a sign of underlying eye conditions, and in rare cases, they can even indicate an emergency requiring immediate medical attention.
In this guide, we'll explore the common causes of red eyes. We'll also share some practical ways to relieve eye discomfort and tell you which symptoms should prompt you to immediately stop your daily routine and see an ophthalmologist.
