It's AumSum Time.
Why do our Eyes become Red?
Because we color them using red paint.
Oh AumSum.
Let me explain.
Did you know that extremely tiny blood vessels are present.
On the surface of our eyes?
Yes, they do!!
When these blood vessels get dilated or inflamed our eyes appear red.
In this condition our red eyes are also sometimes referred to as bloodshot eyes.
The most common causes of eye redness are.
Allergies triggered due to irritants such as pollen, dust, perfume or smoke.
In this case our eyes may also have itching, burning or tearing.
A condition called dry eye in which our eyes lack the tears necessary.
To nourish or lubricate them.
An infection such as conjunctivitis.
Sometimes conjunctivitis is also referred to as pink eye.
Finally, eye redness can also be a result of trauma or injury to our eyes.
