My son’s eye turned a bit red on the corner
My son is 20 months old. For last 3/4 days, I have noticed that some part of the left corner of his right eye has turned red. Though he didn’t show any sign of pain or itchiness or sleeping problem, the reddish shade of his eye remains without any change. Please advise me on what to do now.

Hello and thank you for using our service

For your information, redness of the eye can be caused by certain conditions such as:
- Subconjunctival bleeding
- Conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctival layer)
- Episcleritis (inflammation of the lining of the episclera)
It can also occur due to serious condition such as:
- Acute glaucoma
