General Bloodshot Eyes Information
Bloodshot eyes occur when the tiny blood vessels on the surface of the eye become inflamed in response to insufficient amounts of oxygen in the cornea or tissues covering the eyes. Eyes can also appear swollen, watery and tired-looking. Bloodshot eyes can occur in adults and children and are often attributed to poor sleep, allergies or an underlying problem.

Possible Causes of Bloodshot Eyes
Tired, bloodshot eyes are often caused by allergies, eyestrain, fatigue, improper diet, interrupted sleep, smoke-filled environment, chemical contaminants, extended exposure to the sun, long hours at the computer and alcohol consumption. Bloodshot eyes can also be linked to underlying causes such as pinkeye, myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and degenerative eye disorders.

Possible Symptoms of Bloodshot Eyes
Bloodshot eyes are swollen, watery and marked with red streaks of inflamed blood vessels. Eyes often burn and itch, as well.

Possible Lifestyle Changes for Bloodshot Eyes
Rest the eyes by closing them and relaxing for at least 20 minutes. Placing a cool, wet rag over the eyes is also helpful, especially if the bloodshot eyes are caused by overworking them. Do not rub the eyes to prevent further damage. Always wear UV protected sunglasses when outside. Rinse the eyes with cool sterile water or use eye drops to soothe the eyes. Eat a healthy diet to ensure good eye health.
