If you experience persistent eye redness or discomfort, it’s important to seek evaluation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

Risk Factors for Eye Redness

Eye redness can be caused by various factors, including allergies, infections, and environmental irritants. Risk factors include exposure to smoke, dust, and pollution, as well as contact lens misuse. People with pre-existing conditions like dry eye syndrome, conjunctivitis, or frequent eye strain are more susceptible. Poor eye hygiene and prolonged screen time can also increase the likelihood of eye redness and irritation.

Causes of Eye Redness

Eye redness is typically caused by inflammation or irritation due to allergies, infections, or environmental factors like smoke and pollution. Conjunctivitis (pink eye), dry eyes, or excessive strain from screen use also contribute. Bacterial or viral infections lead to blood vessel dilation in the eye, causing redness. Contact lens overuse and poor hygiene are additional factors that can trigger eye redness.
