Here are some tips:
1. Eye drops

4: if you can’t stop using your phone turn down the brightness on it

[Jojobambi]

YOU'RE THE ONLY YOUTUBER I HAVE ON PUSH NOTIFICATIONS. I'm studying to become an optometrist in Sweden and your passion rubs off on me! Your videos are very informative and above all, so fun to watch! Thank you for all the effort you put on your content❤

[RudeliciousTV]

Thanks for this video! It’s made me feel at ease after I woke up with one of these bloodshot eyes 3 days ago after sleeping with my contacts, and waking up in the middle of the night struggling to take them off, the next morning I woke up with a red eye. My eye feels normal just looks scary.

[albedoworkingatmcdonalds]

I don't know why but everytime i see someone with that eye i keep thinking "ohh he developed a mangekyo sharingan"

[ramonbelgi]

Joseph, you’re like the Bill Nye of ophthalmology. Love your channel!

[trash]

i got red eyes from looking at my phone with the light off for at least a couple of time .... i woke up to it and now it looks like Im high.. never doing this again. Im so Dumb.

[Lextermine]

Strange, I thought it was the OG kush the whole time!

[Laurentiius]

Yes, I thought it was just a minor infection, Now thinking it could have been allergies. Caused by the symptoms of coughing and sneezing. Thanks, for the video and explanation.

[charlieflyte]

Why has someone down thumbed this video? I've never suffered from this but still watch as it's really informative. Get a life whoever you are!

[TRUEEEEET]

Woke up this morning with this. Was a little worried but now I feel better. Thanks for the video!!!

[dededede]

U just confirmed what I experienced before and allergies are bad right now with high winds blowing them around. Thanks for your affirmation. Will continue to watch.

[mariaegonzalez]

I just notice one bad blood shot eye. My blood pressure is mostly low. I am 76 and this is the first time. I was worried. But you gave me peace of mind. I apply cold compress. I’ll see how it goes. Thank you so much for your advice. Mayu. Blessings on your way.

[alexandraozuna]

I have had recurring blood shot eyes since I was a kid. It wasn’t until I started working at an optometrist office in my 20’s when it was finally diagnosed as Episclaritis

[hruelas]

This was very informative. I had blood shot eye and coincidently i was seeing my ear nose and throat doctor for other issue and was prescribed azelastine nasal solution and montelukast to prevent my nasal drip and cough in the morning. This fixed the vessel burst from the aggressive cough. TY

[shirleyhoward]

Scleritis with RA so may be a flare from that. Took drops, eye gel and prednisone 2nd time. Going to my other eye now. Trusting the Lord for my healing!

[TheCouple]

I have this in both eyes right now. Its literally terrifying. Conjustivities + the flu basically caused this from coughing/vomiting. Happy valentines to me :)

[macsstations]

Thank you this video was very educational and the relief, I got to find out that this is caused by pressure or high blood pressure so now I know thanks again 😄

[MH-cpyr]

Thank you for the explanation Doctor Eye Health. What a relief 😅 for my bloodshot eye.

[LuisSanchezLouieLouie]

thanks Doc... you made a world a better place.
