What causes red and irritated eyes?

Eye irritation is a common condition which can occur due a variety of factors including:

• Air pollution
• Chemicals (such as chlorine)
• Reading or glaring at computer screens for a long time
• Smoke or dust particles
• Wind

The redness is caused by dilation of the blood vessels in and around the eye. This can cause pain and inflammation which can affect vision.

To protect your eyes from irritants, a thin layer of fluid sits over the eye. This fluid, known as the tear film, helps to flush out particles from the eyes and lubricates your eyelids. If the tear film evaporates, or if the tear ducts do not produce enough fluid, the eyes can become dry and irritated.

Sand and dust particles can scratch the outermost layer of the eye called the cornea. A scratch on the cornea is known as a corneal abrasion. If you get particles in your eyes, you should rinse your eyes with water or a saline solution. Be careful not to rub your eyes as this can push the particle against the eye and cause an abrasion.

Chemicals, particularly those found in cleaning products, are common causes of eye irritation. Chlorine, found in swimming pools and household bleach, and sodium lauryl ether sulphate (SLES), found in shampoos, can irritate the eyes on contact. When sliced, onions and chilli peppers release chemicals which can cause eye irritation and redness.

How do I prevent irritated and red eyes?

The simplest way to prevent irritated eyes is to avoid the irritant altogether. If this is not possible, you should consider preventive methods to reduce your eye’s exposure to the irritant.

Reading and staring at screens over long periods can cause the tear film to evaporate, resulting in irritation. Eye strain can be more prevalent at work.

If you are sensitive to chlorine while swimming, wear goggles to prevent the water from getting into your eyes.

Avoid using bleach and other disinfectants in poorly ventilated areas. Open doors and windows or use an extractor fan when cleaning with bleach. Keep your face away from the disinfectant while cleaning.

While cutting onions, garlic and chillies, try cutting them underwater to trap the irritant. You should always remember to wash your hands immediately after slicing onions and chilli peppers.

If your eye irritation is a result of another medicine or an underlying medical condition, speak to your doctor for more specific advice on how you can mitigate the risk of irritation.

How Do Murine Irritation and Redness Eye Drops Work?

When your eyes become irritated, your blood vessels widen (dilate) and become more pronounced, and causing inflammation and discomfort in the eyes.

Murine irritation and redness eye drops contain a vasoconstrictor called naphazoline hydrochloride. This works by narrowing the blood vessels in and around the eye, reducing the appearance of red and bloodshot eyes.

Murine also works to replenish the tear film, which helps to protect the cornea and remove irritating particles from the eyes. It also helps to keep the eyes lubricated, relieving discomfort from dry eyes.
