Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through your photographs.
There is not that much redness seen in the picture, it seems like a resolving infection. And the redness is manly confined to eye lid area.
Do you have any symptoms like, pain, excessive watering from eyes or itching?
Is your symptoms confined to one eye only?
Waiting for your reply.

It will settle by itself.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
As the redness is resolving, and no other symptoms, it is definitely a gradually subsiding disease and you will be fine in few days.
As of now no treatment is required. We can wait few more days to assess the progress.
