Irritated eyes, as seen in conditions like pink eye or allergies, cause blood vessel dilation, leading to redness. Such redness indicates underlying issues that may be mild or serious, including infections or glaucoma. While redness-relieving drops can temporarily soothe the appearance of red eyes, they don't address the cause and may lead to dependency. Overuse can also result in a rebound effect, worsening the initial problem. It's crucial to identify and treat underlying conditions instead of masking symptoms.
"It's not normal to have a red, angry-looking eye," Holmes said.
"It may make you think everything is OK with your eyes when really there can be something quite serious going on," Holmes said.
