What Causes Redness And Irritation In Eyes?

I am a 24 year old female. I have not been feeling much like myself lately. I have had redness and irritation in my right eye that comes and goes along with soreness in my right elbow and left knee. I also have had a few more headaches than usual and have found that I need an extra cup of coffee to make it through the day. This has been going on for about 2 weeks now. Any ideas what could be causing this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.



Thank you, Dominique
