Suggest Treatment For Iris Irritation

Whenever I go out and there's a sunset or im in the bathroom with my lights on, my iris turns bright red. I normally have dark brown eyes and I've been googling it but nothing has come up. My family has greenish gold eyes and I'm the only one with this color!

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having redness of eyes and it should be redness of conjunctiva and not iris.
This is called as hyperenia of conjunctiva and treatment is by use of decongestant eye drops.
Dark brown eyes are normal and indicate normal pigmentation and green eyes indicate less than normal pigmentation but however this won't matter much no need yo worry.

Thank you
