Many cases of red eye are relatively harmless and usually improve with home remedies or over-the-counter treatments. However, if red eye is accompanied by eye pain, light sensitivity, swelling, or blurry vision, see your eye doctor immediately.
Some of the causes of redness in the eyes include Conjunctivitis, Glaucoma, Iridocyclitis, scleritis, and Episcleritis.
