How to get rid of red, bloodshot eyes?
I can't sleep at night on a regular basis. I have to go to school, and my eyes get red from lack of sleep. I do use eye drops with redness relief, but they don't last very long, so I have to take them in between every class period and it's annoying. Also, I wear makeup so I can't rinse my face or run cold water on my eyes or anything. Any tips? TL;DR - How do I get rid of red eyes at school (Besides using eye drops)
How long will my bloodshot on my eye last?
Really, I don't think you can get an accurate answer to a question like that on Quora or any other sites. There is no way to diagnose why your eye is “bloodshot” without an exam by an eye physician.Having said that, “bloodshot” or red eyes can be divided arbitrarily (by me) into eyes that are red due to inflammation or infection, and eyes that are red due to “subconjunctival hemorrhages”. Eyes wth redness due to subconjunctival hemorrhages are usually feel “normal” - no pain, discomfort, or blurred vision, but look dramatically red, not just lots of blood vessels red, but solid red, can't see the blood vessels it's so red, and the blood can cover part or most of the conjunctiva- the white part of the eye. These usually clear up in 5–7 days, and do not require treatment.“Inflammatory “ red eye could be anything from dry eyes, blepharo-conjunctivitis, allergic conjunctivitis, infectious conjunctivitis (either viral or bacterial), scleritis, keratitis, iritis, etc. Etc.So, the important questions should be:how long have they been bloodshot? Chronic is more concerning generallyIs the vision affected? Obviously not usually a good sign.Does it hurt or is there discomfort? Pain is not good.Is there discharge? If so, does it look more like pus, or more like clear fluid (tears)? Purulent discharge is usually a worse sign than clear dischargeIs it one eye or both?This is some of the important information that your eye doctor will need to elicit to make a diagnosis.Disclaimer: “All opinions and information in this answer– – even those based on real data– – are entirely fictional.

If you get bloodshot eyes from reading how long will it take for it to go away?
Learn to:Take breaks from reading, some may say as high as 15min/hr.Always insure adequate lighting; the old "soft white/warm white" will seldom qualify.Use some type of opthalmic vasoconstrictor drops to minimize the bloodshot appearance, and if eyes are itching, try some OTC allergy eye drops.
What can you put in your eyes to make them bloodshot red and not painful?
I had to re-read your question to be sure I got this right. Why would anyone want to do this?First: I AM NOT RECOMMENDING ANYONE DO THIS. I'm pretty sure this is not a good thing. I mean, red eyes (injected blood vessels, hyperemia) are NOT a sign of healthy eyes. So, to artificially, purposely, make your eyes red/inflamed isn't a good idea, IMO. I'm not sure there's a safe way to do it.Assuming you are just asking a hypothetical question, One Possibility is: There's a red dye used for some eye exams (rose bengal) that does make the eyes red, but almost all patients complain that the dye burns when it's put in, and it's pretty much washed out after 20-40min anyway, but it's not damaging to the eyes.One other way, again NOT recommended, is to use cosmetic 'novelty' contact lenses that are colored to make the eyes look red. Unless, and sometimes even if, these are fitted by a professional, they carry a higher risk of complications up to and including corneal infections. Caveat Emptor.
How do I make my eyes bloodshot or noticeably red?
I do know a relatively comfortable and effective way...you could always partake of the sacred herb, take sweet Mary Jane out on a date at 4:20? Just on the off chance you have no clue what I'm babbling about, what I mean is (whispers) "smoke marijuana" If that isn't an option , or if this question is because you actually WANT to look like you've smoked it, for peer pressure or to impress someone,then rubbing salt in them or pepper, or crushed flowers that are highly allergenic, or open up you're vaccum cleaner bag and rub the dust in your eyes. Ouch....I don't know why I answered this, but I hope I helped :)
What causes a blood-shot eye?
Irritation and dryness are the most common causes. Allergies, infection, and more serious symptoms can occur but are very rare. Also if you have contact problems (contact lenses) could also be affecting you. With your problem, just put in some eye drops every 2-4 hours in each eye that treat dryness, irritation, and/or inflammation. When your eyes have these problems, they become extra "red" or "bloodshot" your eye just receives more blood to remain balanced and help maintain fluid
I have a Blood hond, and his eyes are always red..?
With some breeds yes - Bloodhounds and Bassets tend to have more "bloodshot' looking eyes - as long as there is no discharge or the dog doesn't seem bothers, its fine.
Why do my eyes turn bloodshot after a hot shower?
The blood vessels in your eyes dilate from the heat. You can put on cold compresses
Why is one of my eyes turning bloodshot red after wearing lenses?
I am assuming when you say lenses, you mean contact lenses, and not the lenses on the glasses.sometime the contact lenses make your eyes red when you wear them for over 8 hours. For me, I have dry eyes, so I can only wear most contacts for only 4 hours now.In worse cases, it could be a wrong type/brand of lenses. Or there could be some protein deposit on the lenses if it’s not a daily contact lens. It could also be that your prescription changed, this pair might no longer be right for you.It could also be an early sign of infection.It’s best to remove your contact lenses right away and see your local optometrist. Bring all your contact lens info or any previous eye drops used when you go in to see them.
Why does wearing makeup make my eyes bloodshot and red?
Wearing makeup doesn’t & shouldn’t make the eyes bloodshot or red. You’re probably allergic to the product(s) you wear on or around your eyes.Take a few minutes to read the packaging of the makeup you wear & see which products are labeled suitable for sensitive eyes &/or contact lens wearers.I had issues with both! I have bad reactions to certain ingredients & would get makeup caught underneath my contact lenses, which would result in eye infections, pain, & redness. I had to learn to apply my makeup on & then put them in.The only other thing I can imagine is your eyes are irritated by the fallout from eyeshadow or a powder falling or mascara flaking off & debris is falling into your eyes, causing irritation & therefore redness.Personally, I recommend switching routines a product at a time. Over the course of maybe a week, apply your makeup as normal, but each day skip one product you usually do & the day you our eyes aren’t red & bloodshot, that’s when you know the product you didn’t put on is the one you’re allergic to. It’s a slow process, but you will be able to find the exact product & it won’t be a guessing game.
