What it feels like
The white part of your eye appears pink or red, sometimes with irritation, tearing, discharge, or sensitivity to light.
Possible causes
Can range from minor issues like mild dryness or allergies to more serious conditions such as infections (conjunctivitis), inflammation (uveitis), or acute glaucoma.
Why it matters
Red eyes should be properly evaluated, especially if pain, vision changes, or light sensitivity are present. Early diagnosis ensures timely treatment and helps prevent complications.
