Disease/Condition Glossary

Eye redness: Eye redness refers to a red appearance of the normally white part of the eye. The eye looks red or bloodshot because blood vessels on the eye's surface widen (dilate), bringing extra blood into the eye. Blood vessels can dilate due to Infection, Allergy and Inflammation caused by something other than an infection.
