I am not high, and I get at least 8 hours of sleep every night. My eyes just hardly ever seem to be fully white. Do I not drink enough water? Could it be allergies?

I get enough sleep, I don't do drugs, and I haven't been drinking any alcohol.
If it is allergies, is there anything over the counter I can get that would get rid of it. What if I drink more water?

I have 20/8 vision. I have great vision, so I don't think it's glasses or contacts.

It could be the AC. I live in California and it's 105 every day here now, and I keep the AC at 75. I'm waking up with them red, so I don't think it's only computers, though that could be some of the problem. I've never heard of AC causing red eyes, maybe it's the freon. I'll check it out.

Could be allergies. Could also be dry eyes. Better than Visine and Clear Eyes for allergies is Opticon-A (it used to be prescription and is now over the counter). I use them every a.m. during allergy season. It's in the drug store around with the other eye remedies. If your eyes are not itchy, perhaps it's dryness. Especially if you spend alot of time in air-conditioned locations. There are eye drops that are "moisture drops" which lubricate your eyes. The Opticon brand (I think that is the name) also makes a version of this. My doctor advised me that even for allergies, the moisture drops may work because they rinse your eyes.

I'm not sure you would have to have full blown allergies to have some eye irritation--such as dust, pet dander, mites or mold, etc., might be causing just a enough irritation--or the scents you use with your perfume, hairspray, etc.
Does it EVER get better--such as when you are out of your house or your office for days at a time? It is worse in the morning or in the evening?
If you do some sleuthing, it may find something making it worse.
Does it run in your family? It could just be the way your eye DNA is set up. Because, you sound so healthy otherwise!
And, don't let the TV personalities set your standards. They have white eyes and white teeth that look as natural as as a toupee.
If there are smiles in your eyes, they are beautiful--even if they are a bit bloodshot!!

Are you always in front of the computer? When I spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen my eyes get blood shot too. The eye doctor told me it is eye strain. Also you don't blink much when constantly looking at a screen, this causes your eyes to dry out. You might try eye moisture drops through out the day, this might help too.

As the other person said, you definitely could have allergies. You really should get tested. You may need shots or drops or something. It would certainly be to your benefit to get it checked out.

Yes, it could be allergies, especially if they itch. There is a Visine for allergies. It may sting when you first put it in, but it clears all eye allergy symptoms right up.

Sounds like some foam of allergies but to make sure that isn't something else go see your doc.

You need to limit your daily reefer intake. try using a vaporisor then you weill not be so red. by the way "clear eyes" works better then "visine".
