Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having redness of the eye probably because of a broken of a blood vessel.
This is called as subconjunctival hemorrhage. It usually resolves by 1-2 weeks slowly as the blood gets absorbed. No treatment is generally required.
No need to worry about this red eyes.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
