Bloodshot eyes

by ncaldrn, Jul 14, 2008 09:31PM
I woke up yesterday morning and my right eye was bloodshot red and the left eye pink. The right eye is very sensitive to light, watery, and I'm also experincing blurred vision at times. I'd like to know what this is? And what can I do to cure it?

Thank You,
Nick

Nick go see an ophthalmologist in person to find out what is causing the redness and blurred vision and light sensitivity.  Possible causes include keratitis, uveitis, conjuctivitis and more.
