What Causes Bloodshot Red Eyes After Sauna Bath?
I went into a sauna that was operating at about 80 deg C and after an hour I had bloodshot red eyes. I did not detect any fumes off the sauna and it did not smell of any chemicals so I am wondering what caused it. I recently had an eye test and the optician who is also a retired GP said my eyes are healthy, so what caused it? My eyes did feel dry.

The cause is sauna bath. the warm water with nsteam might have caused allergy. apply cromal eye drop, and start taking levocetrizine 5mg tab twice daily for 10days. avoid sauna bath in futre. it may be shampoo or soap which has caused allergy. Now wash your head with normal wateryou are having no problem in eye. Wait for some time it will be normal, You can apply refresh eye tear drop.
