If it's still red after that many days, see a doctor. It could be anything from some small particle of something trapped under the eyelid irritating it, to an infection (i.e., pink eye), or you just rubbing it too much, or itching from allergies. A doctor can take a look and help find the reason and prescribe treatment if necessary.

If your red eye has not improved since Thursday, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Redness in the eye can be a symptom of various conditions such as conjunctivitis, dry eye, or even a more serious infection. It is best to consult with an eye doctor to determine the cause and receive proper treatment.

In the meantime, you can try some home remedies to alleviate the redness and discomfort. Applying a cold compress can help reduce inflammation and soothe the eye. Make sure to avoid rubbing your eyes, as this can worsen the redness and potentially spread any infection. Also, make sure to avoid wearing contact lenses until your eye has fully healed.

If your right eye has improved but your left eye is still red, it is possible that you may have a different underlying issue. It is important to have both eyes checked by a professional to ensure proper treatment. Remember to always take care of your eyes and seek medical attention when needed.
