Why do eyes go red?

Red eye is caused by swollen or dilated blood vessels on the white outer surface of the eye. It has many possible causes. You may also have pain, itching, discharge or visual disturbances. If you are concerned about your red eye, the best first step is to consult your optical practice or failing this seek medical advice. In some areas you can also access a Minor Eye Conditions service at local optical practices free of charge on the NHS.
