This redness is typically caused when small blood vessels under the eye\u2019s surface are inflamed or swollen. Generally, this is a reaction to irritants that may have entered the eye during exposure to wind, summer loo, or allergy season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This redness can affect one or both eyes. It may be sudden (in case of eye injury or allergies) or develop over a period of time (in case of eye conditions).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The redness may be accompanied by other symptoms such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/eye-pain-common-causes-symptoms-when-to-see-a-doctor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eye pain<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swelling or inflammation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Itching<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eye discharge\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sudden changes in vision (<a href=\"http:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/reasons-why-you-may-have-blurry-vision-in-one-eye\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blurry<\/a> or distorted)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Red_Eye_Causes\"><\/span>Red Eye Causes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A red eye can result from different reasons. Sometimes, your eyes may get irritated if you\u2019ve been wearing contact lenses for a prolonged time, leading to redness, or sometimes it may be due to excessive screen time without frequent breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Common causes include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/eye-allergies-explained-causes-symptoms-relief\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Allergies<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/dry-eyes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dry eye<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blepharitis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pink eye (also known as conjunctivitis)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eye injury<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/glaucoma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Glaucoma<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Identify_a_Red_Eye\"><\/span>How to Identify a Red Eye?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to notice is redness in the white part of your eye.
