What Causes Reddening Of Eye After Morning Shower?
Can the temperature of water when taking a shower cause reddening of the eyes? For a number of years, I have ended relatively warm showers by turning the water to cold for the last 4-5 minutes of the shower. Recently, I have noticed that my eyes are much redder than normal following my morning shower?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have reddening of eye after morning shower . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like eye allergies , conjunctivitis , styes , chalazion or injuries.
Soemtimes dust in eyes can also cause such symptoms . I would suggest you to wash your eyes with cold water several times a day , put corticosteroid eye drops in your eyes and take over the counter anti histamine like benadryl twice a day .
If condition doesn't get better then consult ophthalmologist for proper diagnosis and treatment . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with anti inflammatory and antibiotics .
Do not apply any cosmetic product on face and put methyl cellulose eye drops in eye to prevent dryness . Also prevent your eyes from direct sunlight by wearing sunglasses .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
