What Causes Red Eyes?

Hi, I've had red eyes for about a week now. They have that sting after a good nap, but I feel my eyes are constantly strained and thus am constantly tired, but can't sleep. I tried lying in bed for an hour and a half in pitch black, but still felt the same. Should I be worried?

red eye can be allergic or inflammatory. if you are getting sting type feeling then it can be allergic.if so take levocetrizine tablet and apply cromal eye drop 3times. if it is inflammatory then there will be pain with discharge. in that case antibiotic drop is to be applied.
