Red in eye

Over the pass couple of days my dads 1 eye has been turning red.  The white part of his eye is red from his nose to the center.  Now the other side of the same eye is starting to turn red.  What should he do?

Dear Tigers777,

I would recommend that you take your dad to an eyeMD to determine the cause of the redness.

There seems to be some kind of problem going on.  I would need to see the eye in person to see whether it was a hemorrhage or an infection or some type of irritation or inflammation.  Make an appointment to see a ophthalmologist in person.
