What Causes Persistent Redness In Eye?
One of my eyes gets really red and stays red for about a week or so. This has been happening for the last 5 years. At first I thought I had pink eye so I went to emergency and was prescribed some eye drops. But this keeps happening. My eye does not burn or itch and there is no discharge of any kind coming from my eye when this happens. What is going on? Nevermind, I did not realize I had to pay to have a question answered.
