Bloodshot Eyes Treatment

Bloodshot Eyes Causes

BLOOD SHOT EYES are caused by any stress to the surface of your eyeball such as:

• Allergies
• Smoke at work or parties
• Chlorine in pools
• Frayed contact lenses
• Wind
• Lack of sleep

Bloodshot Eyes Treatment

• Ice packs applied to the bloodshot closed eye helps shrink the prominent blood vessels.
• For tired bloodshot eyes, try warm compresses for up to 15 minutes.
• After petting your furry pets, wash your hands right away. Pet fur and saliva are common irritants to the eye.
• If your eyes feel dry and stinging, try artificial tears.
• If you're wearing contact lenses, you may need to wear your glasses for a couple to rest your eye surface. If the irritation starts again after the holiday then you may need to enzymatically clean your contacts or replace them - over time they develop protein films and micro-scratches impossible to repair and need to be replaced.
• Avoid things you know bother your eyes like smoke, dust, etc.

If all else fails let your eye doctor take a peek at your eyes.
