My right eye is red. What could it be?

Question

its a deep red on the inside white of my right eye. It feels a little dry. But not itchy. No discharge. I wear contacts.

Answer 1

that happens to me to, i wear contacts but i put visine eye drops and it goes away, it could also b the weather

Answer 2

It could be just from tiredness or something. My eyes randomly get -insanely- red and fiery looking when I'm tired and the environment is screwy. I'd suggest taking out your contacts for  two to three days, seeing if that helps, then if it doesn't, go ahead and see an eye doctor, just to be sure nothing's up.

Answer 3

YOU COULD HAVE A LACERATION (CUT ) ON YOUR EYE OR YOU MIGHT BE DEVELOPING PINK EYE. I AM A NURSE; BUT I ALSO WEAR CONTACTS AND HAD PINK EYE 2 WEEKS AGO. IT STARTS OUT BEING RED AND DRY AND THEN IN ABOUT 8 HOURS YOU MAY START HAVING SENSITIVITY TO LIGHT AND PAIN IN THAT EYE. YOU WILL KNOW IF YOU DO, IT HURTS LIKE h**l. IF THAT STARTS SEE A DOCTOR AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU ANTIBIOTIC DROPS AND IT WILL CLEAR UP IN A FEW DAYS. IN THE MEAN TIME DON'T WEAR YOUR CONTACTS AND KEEP IN MIND THAT IF IT IS PINK EYE THEN ITS CONTAGIOUS TO OTHERS AND TO YOUR OTHER EYE.

Answer 4

You just tore a small blood vessel. It's not uncommon, nor is it something to worry about.

It will go away on its own in a little while. If you notice that your eye is dryer or wetter or anything, then go see your doctor.
