Hello
It seems from the history that you are having redness of eyes. Taking bactrim for urinary tract infection is not responsible for redness of eyes. But this may indicate infection of the eyes in the form of conjunctivitis. The treatment is required in the form of antibiotic eye drops.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
