Red Eye — Which Doctor Should I See?

Red eye can result from allergies, infections (conjunctivitis), dry eyes, subconjunctival hemorrhage, glaucoma, or irritation from foreign objects or contact lenses.

Seek medical attention if you experience severe pain, vision changes, discharge, or if redness persists beyond a few days despite home care.

Mild cases may improve with cool compresses, artificial tears, and avoiding irritants. However, proper diagnosis is important to rule out serious conditions.
