Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's wrong with me. The past two days, my eyes have been red and extremely dry, with frequent tearing. I feel very uncomfortable. Could you please tell me what might be causing my red eyes?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can cause red eyes. When the eye surface comes into contact with toxic chemicals in the air, it stimulates the conjunctiva, leading to red eyes. Contact with patients suffering from pink eye can also cause acute infectious conjunctivitis, which may result in red eye symptoms. Intraocular diseases, such as glaucoma and uveitis, can also lead to red eye symptoms. Once red eye symptoms appear, it is necessary to be vigilant and seek medical attention promptly to obtain a clear diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
