The question, “Doc, why are my eyes always red?” is commonly asked of me by patients. Red eyes are screaming for attention and rarely improve on their own without proper treatment.

There are several reasons your eyes can be red, many of which can be serious and should be assessed and treated by an eye doctor. Though over-the-counter eye drops exist to “get the red out,” they are only a quick fix and only mask the true eye problem.

Your doctor may ask you questions about your red eyes at your visit.

How long have you had red eyes?
Which symptoms are you experiencing? Severity? Pain?
How many hours do you spend on the computer?
Do you take any medications?
Do your eyes appear red all day or do they seem worse in the morning/evening?
What type of contacts do you wear and how long do you wear them?
Have you tried any medications or drops for treatment?

The technology in your contact lenses has rapidly advanced in the last 5-10 years, much like your phone’s technology. The contact lens market grows each year with the introduction of 2-3 new types of lenses of varying materials and designs.

The contact lens brands of 2022 are more breathable, more comfortable, and healthier for your eyes. More options exist for patients with astigmatism, computer users, and those over 40 wearing reading glasses over their contacts. A contact lens exists for nearly every eyeglass prescription and can be customized for your specific vision needs.
