Bloodshot eyes may be caused by eye strain, or by ocular inflammation such as conjunctivitis or keratitis. It could also result from dry eye syndrome or trichiasis (inward-growing eyelashes). If the condition is due to excessive eye strain, it is recommended to get adequate rest, avoid staying up late, and limit prolonged use of electronic devices. If symptoms are caused by other underlying conditions, it is advisable to visit the ophthalmology department of a reputable local hospital promptly to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
