Rooheeyeh

Rooheeyeh, also known as "Red Eye," is a condition characterized by the redness of the eye, often accompanied by a white or yellowish appearance of the iris. This condition can be caused by several factors, including inflammation, infection, or irritation. Common causes of red eye include conjunctivitis, allergies, or eye strain. In some cases, red eye may be a symptom of a more serious underlying condition, such as an eye injury or a systemic illness.

The redness of the eye is due to the dilation of blood vessels in the conjunctiva, the thin membrane that covers the white of the eye and lines the inner surface of the eyelids. This dilation can be caused by inflammation, which is the body's response to injury or infection. The white or yellowish appearance of the iris is due to the reflection of light off the back of the eye, which is more pronounced when the iris is dilated.

Red eye is typically not a serious condition and can often be treated at home with over-the-counter eye drops or medications. However, in some cases, red eye may require medical attention, particularly if it is accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, discharge, or vision changes. It is important to seek medical attention if red eye is accompanied by fever, headache, or other systemic symptoms, as these may indicate a more serious underlying condition.

Prevention of red eye involves maintaining good eye hygiene, avoiding irritants such as smoke and dust, and protecting the eyes from injury. Wearing protective eyewear, such as safety glasses or goggles, can help prevent eye injuries and reduce the risk of red eye. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as washing the hands before touching the eyes, can help prevent the spread of infections and reduce the risk of red eye.
