Redness of the eyes can be caused by foreign objects getting into the eyes, rubbing the eyes, or physical irritation.

Additionally, redness can occur if you wear contact lenses for extended periods or if your eyes become severely fatigued, as this can lead to oxygen deprivation in the cornea.

Redness of the eyes is an important sign that something is wrong with your eyes. In rare cases, it may be a subconjunctival hemorrhage, so it's important to identify the cause and take the correct action.
