Answers:
Rubbing your eyes continually can cause irritation of the conjunctiva, which leads to increased blood flow; this is what causes conjunctival 'injection' (i!.e!., bloodshot appearance)!.

Note that other things make your eyes look bloodshot, such as allergies, lack of sleep, ill-fitting contact lenses, and drug use!. In the case of allergies, the blood vessels dilate in response to an allergen!. In the case of ill-fitting contacts (and lack of sleep), the conjunctiva and sclera (the white part of the eye) become starved for oxygen; the response is to dilate blood vessels to increase blood flow and oxygen delivery!.

While you can buy over-the-counter medicines to constrict the blood vessels in your eyes (e!.g!., Visine), this is only a temporary measure!. It's best to eliminate the underlying cause or, in your case, to avoid rubbing your eyes in the first place!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
