Why Is The Eyes Getting Bloodshot S Every Time After Taking The Shower?

why do my eyes get so bloodshot when i take a shower? i don t open them up to get soap in them but my whole life i look like i m drunk or stoned when i get out of the shower. i actually shower the nite before work instead of the morning because people used to ask me if i did anything before work when they saw my eyes.

Hello,
It seems from the history that your eyes become blood shot after taking shower.This normal reaction and it is called as hypermia of conjunctiva. This is normal and it usually follows head bath.
No treatment is required for this condition as it will resolve within 1-2 hours.
However symptomatic relief can be obtained by using vasoconstrictor eye drops.

Thank you
