The whites of my eyes have become bloodshot over a long period of time. what would be causing it?

Question

would changing my contact lenses and recently spending a lot of time in front of the computer when at work be a factor? the whites almost look stained.

Answer 1

Does it coincide with how long you've been coming onto Y!A?

Answer 2

You could have "Jaundis"...See an OPTHOMOLOGIST....with the title.  You'll see an M.D. after his name, AND the D.O. but not all drs. of Optometry are M.D.'s.  

You need to see an M.D. who is an Opthomologist...NOT an Optician.

or Optometrist.

BECAUSE you need to see why your whites are discoloured.

Answer 3

May be best to go & see your Opticians for thier opinion.

Answer 4

ask your doctor

Answer 5

Sounds like you have dry eyes.

Common causes are:

spending too much time looking at a computer/playing games.

wearing your contact lenses for too long and too often.

allergies/irritants

over using eye-brightening drops.

Having dry eyes all the time can cause permanent problems, and you may not be able to wear contacts in the future.

You really need a proper assessment by an optometrist. Book an eye test and contact lens check asap.

Answer 6

It is starin from the compture.Do you have glasses to wear. I would say to wear glasses and give you eyes a break. Being in front of the compture: you don't blink alot because you stair directly at it, this will cause the contacts to become really dired over a period of time will make you eyes hurts and really tired. I

change your contacts as the doctor says...

wear you glasses a little more

clean contacts as directed

I would give you eyes aleast a week of break... or just wear your contact 6-10 hrs at the most.
