00:30Red eyes occur due to the dilation of blood vessels in the white part of the eye, scaring.
00:36The causes vary widely, ranging from infections to dry eyes.
00:41To eye strain from staring at phone and laptop screens.
00:46Let's break down the main causes and how to treat them safely.
00:51There are four most common causes of red eyes.
00:59First, conjunctivitis, pink eye can be caused by viruses, bacteria, often accompanied by sticky eye discharge or crusting, or allergies.
01:10Second, dry eyes, occurs when tear production decreases or tears evaporate too quickly due to hot weather, wind, or autoimmune
01:18conditions.
01:21Third, eye strain, caused by staring at computer screens for too long without breaks, which drastically reduces your blink rate.
01:31And fourth, injury-slash-irritation, caused by exposure to smoke, dust, chemicals, or using unsterilized contact lenses.

01:49When it comes to treatment, always tailor your approach based on the underlying cause.
01:55For dry eyes, use over-the-counter artificial tears.
02:00Apply them every two to three hours.
02:04For bacterial infections, antibiotic eye drops or ointments are required and must be prescribed by a doctor.
02:13Prevent red eyes by avoiding rubbing them, washing your hands before touching your face, removing contact lenses before sleeping, and
02:20giving your eyes a break from screens every few hours.
02:25Red flag symptoms and warning signs

02:41following warning signs.
