Hello,
The redness of eyes could be due to allergy against the eye drops or could be due to dry eye itself. It is advisable to use lubricant eye drops for dry eye. I suggest you to consult your ophthalmologist for clinical assessment to look for the cause of persistent red eye.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
