Is having red eyes after a lot of exposure to the sun normal???

Question

I have had this problem for quite a while now, every time I go out of the house during the day if I don't wear shades my eyes will turn this blood shot red, and basically at the end of the day, they will just shut down as if my pupils are burning and I need to keep my eyes closed, I mean I literally feel my pupils close. I don't wear contact lenses. Does any1 know why is this happening; is this an eye problem or a body symptom for something else? eye Drops of any kind won't help at all.

Answer 1

Don't worry, honey, your eyes are just much sensitive to strong sunlight. It maybe allergic conjunctivitis.

You should try some antiallergic eye drops, e.g. sodium cromoglycate drops, chlorphenamine maleate drops. Most of them are prescription drugs, so go to see your doctor first.

Rest more.Less outdoor activities especially in a sunny day. If you have to go outdoor, wear a sunglasses. Don't eat too much peppery or other irritating food. It's gonna be OK.

Good luck!
