Why are my eyes blood red when I wake up?
Today, most of us spend a good amount of time on the computer screen throughout the day. The fatigue and redness you're experiencing is likely due to dry eye. Many symptoms and signs can arise from dry eye, but redness and tired eyes are some of the most common. Try lubricating your eyes during the day with an artificial tear you buy over-the-counter. Use these drops up to 4x daily. Try to avoid "get the red out" drops. If symptoms persist, make an appointment with your local ophthalmologist for further treatment. READ MORE
