Red eyes happen when the blood vessels on the surface of the eye (the conjunctiva) become irritated, which causes them to become enlarged and dilated. This can sometimes be a medical emergency. One of the most common causes of red eyes are allergens and environmental irritants such as pet dander, pollen, dust, wind, dry air, and sun. People who do not get enough sleep will also experience red eyes. Eye infections and inflammations can cause red eyes, as well as other symptoms such as itching, discharge, pain, and blurred vision. If a contact lens wearer does not keep their lenses clean and disinfected, or wears them for too long, they can experience red eyes.
