Why are my eyes red in every picture?

Question

When I take pictures my eyes always come out red...nobody else in the picture has red eyes! What can I do to stop this?

Answer 1

Red Eye is caused by the blood vessels in your eye reflecting back into the lens. This happens more in dark rooms (your pupils are open wider) and more when the flash os closer to the lens of the camera. (That's why pro photographers use a flash that is farther from the lens .. they never get red-eye)

But if it happens in a group shot and you're the only one, I'll take a guess that you are either blue eyed, fair skinned or recently had a coctail. Those three things tend to make you more prone to red-eye.

Try looking at something bright before the pic is taken. This will close down your pupils and make the red-eye less likely to happen.

Answer 5

As most of your answers are knowledgably correct, none actually answered your question. We all know that eyes turn red in pictures when a flash hits the back of your retina and reflects back and yes the larger the pupil the more likely chance of having red eyes in a picture, but to answer this persons question the correct answer is that more then likely you have thin corneas and just so you know there is nothing you can do about it. On standard point and click cameras and/or phone cameras you will most likely always have red eyes. The thin cornea allows more light in that easier is to reflect back then the average persons eye which absorbs most of the light from the flash. And just so you know, if this is the case it is very unlikely that you would qualify for having any type of Lasic surgery to correct your vision. On a plus side, just plead insanity of possession by an evil spirit and tell people they best not screw with you.

You are a creature of darkness. Obviously a werewolf. I mean come on, dogs eyes turn out red, werewolves, you MUST be one! Happens to me all the time.... Jk, it is because of reflect of vessels, green/blue eye color or both... But in my opinion, if people ask, the best way to answer is a simple "Trust me, you don't wanna know." xDD

Answer 9

It means that person is directly in front of the flash, if you have a camera with a hotshoe, buy a separate flash and hold it next to the lens. If its a compact camera, you can use photoshop or whatever program you have. Click red eye function zoom in on the eye pupil and drag the curser until the red disapears. Or go to a kiosk at your local photo processing centre and get them to show you how to get rid if it using the red eye function.

It happens to me all the time, too. It's caused by the flash reflecting off the back of your retina. The easiest thing to do is to get a camera with built-in red-eye reduction. Or follow the steps at the link below, for a cheaper solution:

Answer 11

A couple of ways to reduce "red eye" in photos is by placing a tissue over the flash, this will displace the direct effect of the flash; or if you have the ability to direct the flash to "bounce" of a light colored ceiling.
