Is it temporary, or is it always like that for her? Temporary may mean that it's Blepharitis. She should get it checked out just in case.

Sounds very much like blepharitis - usually a low level infection of this part of the eyelid. Although its not a threatening condition I'd advise going to the doctor and getting it treated. If left untreated it can lead to thickened lid margins, dilated and visible capillaries, trichiasis (inward growing eyelashes) and eyelash loss.
Redness of the eyeball itself is a more pressing matter. Still, advise your friend to go to the doctor and sort it out. Until then suggest that they increase their eye hygeine - wash their eye area carefully with warm water every day - perhaps with some diluted baby shampoo. Take a photo of it first though so that if it does clear up before you see him/her they can show the doc what it was like and get the definitive diagnosis and advice for the future.
Best Wishes

It is an infection known as bleferitis. She should see her her doctor and get a cleaner, which will clear it up in a few days.
Could also be an allergy to her make-up, to chlorine in swimming pool, or lack of sleep, or too much alcohol.

It could be a eye infection or allergies.
Tell her to go see a eye doctor, it could be something serious.

It could be any one of the following four conditions:
[1] Too much booze.
[2] Too many drugs.
[3] Too much sex.
[4] All three of the above.

Sometimes people get red eyes from alcohol and drugs.

"Red eye at night..... Shepheards Delight!
If your friend has it tonight, i'm out in the convertable tomorrow!!!
However if it was this morning it would explain why the weather is so rubbish today!

I would have said tiredness, or too much alchol/drugs, but your friend sounds like they may have some allergy or infection. Does it hurt them?
