    have you had your eyes tested, sometimes bloodshot eyes can result from rubbing them because we strain them, you may need glasses get em checked out, boots are doing a half price test at the moment with a voucher from the advantage card machine ;)

    Just in general, I would advise talking to an optician rather than a doctor about it.

    They deal with eyes a lot more!!!

    Opthalmic rather than dispensing.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    Milk thistle tincture detoxes the liver and whiter whites should result.
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    It was Optrex Eyedew. You can get a Boots version 'Brightening Eye Drops'.

    As mentioned Eyedew really works. My friend had problems with her contact leneses when we went on holiday and her eyes were really bloodshot. She tried my Eyedew and it cleared them up instantly! I use Eyedew everyday.
