Hello,

Keep yourself well hydrated, take fluids, soup, juice, water, etc. Do not miss meals, take care of your hygiene. Take bath regularly. Change your clothes from inside out. Keep yourself well hydrated & well fed. Smoking weed causes dehydration, including dryness in the eyes. Stay away from smoke or other allergens that may worsen the redness. Avoid exposure in bright sunlight. Wear dark quality goggles, you will get relief.

Applying cold compress is helpful. Artificial tears eye drops can help relieve dryness and redness. You can get your eyes clinically examined to rule out infection. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in the weed causes eye redness after smoking. The blood vessels expand and lead to increased blood flow, resulting in red or bloodshot eyes.

Get connected with a detox center that will help you gradually come out of weed addiction. The withdrawal symptoms will be well taken care of by the health care professionals appointed there. Try to gradually and successfully come out of your addiction.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
