Overview

Eye redness is due to swollen or dilated blood vessels, which cause the surface of the eye to look red, or bloodshot.

There are many possible causes of a red eye or eyes. Some are cause for concern; some are medical emergencies. Others are nothing to worry about.

How red the eye appears is often less of a concern than whether you also have eye pain or difficulty seeing.
