We were all out today, when my daughter noticed one of my eyes was quite badly bloodshot. Once she pointed it out, then suddenly it hurt (psychosomatics alive and well :lol: ). I haven't banged my eye, been hit there or anything else, so am a bit confused how or why it's now bloodshot. Any ideas?

Could be a number of reasons why the eyes get bloodshot, is your vision effected?

No not really. I don't wear specs for anything as my vision is still very good, and I don't feel it's any different now. Just a bit of an ache where it's bloodshot is the only symptom.

Take a read of this Defren from the NHS regarding Red-eye:

Needless to say if your concerned then it's best to get your eye checked by your gp, hope it's gone by the morning

This is not uncommon with diabetics - it will take a few days to subside that is, if you are not experiencing any pain or soreness.

Been having problems with bloodshot eye (always the same one), for a few months now which is why I looked it up.
