How can I get rid of the red in my eyes?

Asked May 23, 2008, 02:39 PM — 11 Answers
My right eye is very red, and usually gets like this after I wear my contacts for a long time. Is there a way I can get rid of this quickly?
Also what eye drops would you recommend?
Are there also natural ways of getting rid of it?

Thank you!

I had some eye problems, irritation and redness, some years ago.

My doctor recommended a brand, I believe it was called Preferin Liquifilm?

I don't even know if they still make them, but they worked very well, where all the
Usual stuff like Visene or Murine did little to nothing.

I've also heard an advertisement for an all natural brand, something like symillisan?
Again, not sure of the spelling.

It's symilasan. And it's a great drop. You might have very dry eye. I would go to your eye doctor and see what the issue really is. Symilasan and Restasis are great drops for dry eye. For some, the doctor will recommend putting in punctal plugs which help increase tear flow.

Get rid of Alcoholic Drinks
Drink a lot of water (like 2 litres everyday)
Gain a habit of eating fresh fruits (esp apples and oranges)
Spend less time using computers or watching TV

I am sure this will help you....

Also, do not use any product that says, "GET THE RED OUT". These products are designed for esthetics. It might make the red color go away but won't fix the reason why its happening.

My nurse mother told me that the Get the Red Out eyedrops actually make your eyes worse if you overuse the drops or use the drops too frequently.

That's true, they are not designed for dry eye AT ALL.

Do not use "gets the red out" drops. Use a natural tear. Make an effort to blink more it will help - get a contact that has more moisture. Wear glasses whenever possible to give your eyes a rest.
