Red Eye & Eye Allergy Treatment
A red eye can be caused by many different things—allergic conjunctivitis from pollen, dust or pet dander, viral or bacterial conjunctivitis, dry eye, or minor irritation—and each needs a different approach. Allergic reactions often bring itching and watering alongside redness, while an infection may need antibiotic care and can spread to others. Correctly identifying the cause is the first step before starting any treatment.
