Redness In Eyes. Do Not Take Drugs. What Can Be Done?
A couple days ago one of my eyes started to get red...it looked like i was tired. Then the next day both of my eyes started to look that way. I thought it was because i was stressed or something, but i'm not. And today i woke up both of my eyes turned glossy red....and i don't even do drugs. I really need help. what can i do to get my eyes back to normal??

I would require more detail history...like if your red eye is associated with FB sensation, grittiness pain or discharge. Your kind of profession?
Now it could be just infective conjunctivitis which requires frequent antibiotic drops or allergic conjunctivitis which would require steroid eye drops.
It could be just dry eye which would require tear substitute eye drops.
If it is not associated with anyother symtoms, you might start with Tear substitute(Optive/Refresh liquigel then visit your ophthalmologist.
