Dry Eyes syndrome
My father aged 55 is suffering from dry eyes for past few years. He can see clearly, mostly after putting eye drops. His eyes are red for more than 10 years . When checked with ophthalmologists in 2 places they told No problem in the eyes. But he feels his eyes are dry mostly.

A photo of redness is better.
Redness can come due to other reasons also. Like allergy.
For dryness, a complete dry eye evaluation has to be done to find the cause.
Cure for dry eye is lubricating drops or lubricating eye ointment.
