Understanding Red Eye Symptoms

A red eye accompanied by blurry vision and discomfort can be alarming. The cause of red eye can vary widely and may include:

• Dry Eyes: Insufficient lubrication leading to irritation and redness.

• Blepharitis: Inflammation of the eyelid margins, often caused by bacterial infection or oil gland dysfunction.

• Conjunctivitis: Also known as pink eye, this condition can be caused by infections (bacterial or viral), allergens, or irritants.

• Scleritis: Inflammation of the sclera (the white part of the eye), which can be associated with systemic diseases.

• Keratitis: Inflammation of the cornea, often due to infection or injury.

• Foreign Body: Particles, such as metal or dust, that may be lodged in the eye.

• Allergic Reactions: Resulting from exposure to allergens, causing redness and irritation.

Inflammation in the eye may be caused by bacteria, fungus, or viruses, necessitating a thorough examination to determine the appropriate treatment.
