10. Long-Term Outlook

Most cases of red eyes are quite mild, and fully resolve without treatment. For this reason, the first line of treatment should always be home management. This involves keeping the eyes and face clean by washing with warm water several times a day. Also, avoid touching your eyes, especially if you havent washed your hands first. You may also apply warm compresses if you experience discomfort, and keep away from any possible irritants. The condition should clear within a day or two. If, however, the redness does not clear, it is advisable to see a doctor for examination and testing to determine the cause.
