Most people get bloodshot eyes, at least occasionally. Bloodshot eyes involve redness on the white part of your eye. While it is very common to get bloodshot eyes, can it mean something is wrong with your eyes?

July is Healthy Vision Month, but what does it mean to have healthy eyes? Does it mean perfect vision? Not necessarily. There are several signs that may indicate you have poor eye health.

It is helpful to recognize signs of failing eye health early, so you can take the needed steps to prevent the situation from becoming worse and preserve your vision.
