Tips to get rid of red eyes

Red-Eye often means that white blood marks are visible on the eyes. This is due to changes in blood vessels that supply the membranes covering the eye front part. Conjunctiva is a membrane that covers the front of the eye and connects the eyelids. The blood vessels of this membrane can regenerate, causing the eyes to become red.

This happens due to :

• Bacterial infection
• Allergic reaction
• Inflammation

Rare problems can also cause the eyes to become red, like increased pressure within the eye.
In most cases, conjunctivitis is the main cause of such a problem. If you are suffering from such a problem then you must approach eye hospital and consult a proficient eye doctor.

Home remedies
Depending on the cause, the red-eye can often be treated at home.
Here are some suggestions.

• Regularly place a cool compress on the eyes, made by soaking cotton wool or cloth in hot or cold water and then rinse it out.
• Avoid eye makeup or opt for hypoallergenic eye makeup. A wide range of hypoallergenic products are available for online purchase 
• Make use of artificial tears, which are available online or at pharmacies.
• Apply antihistamine drops if you have red eyes, for example, seasonal allergies. They are also available online.
