Bloodshot eyes occur when the tiny blood vessels on the surface of the sclera* become inflamed and congested, usually in response to an insufficient amount of oxygen in the cornea**. Bloodshot eyes are often attributed to poor sleep and allergies. They are a common consequence of eyestrain, fatigue, improper diet, and consuming alcohol. If your eyes are still red after a few days or if you experience any unexplained eye pain or vision problems, see your physician or optometrist. Bloodshot eyes could be a sign of a foreign body trapped in your eye or an infection. *The white portion of the eye. **The clear surface layer of the eye that covers the iris and pupil.

While not an expert I had blood shot eyes for over 35 years. Chlorine, lake water, wind, bright lights you name it get em going and after of course seeing an eye doctor my relief for years is advanced visine. I actually have dry eyes and they just don't lubricate themselves enough. To add an extra kicker to them I keep them in the refrigerator. The cool liquid feels great and they melt away the blood vessels much faster.
