Episode 039: Red Eyes Explained: Dry Eye, Allergies, Infections & More
In this episode of The Eye-Q Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Michael Chua to decode the many causes of red eyes. We cover dry eye, allergies, subconjunctival hemorrhage, infections, and eyelid mites—plus simple strategies for relief like eyelid hygiene, artificial tears, and antihistamine drops. If you’ve ever wondered why your eyes are red and irritated, this conversation will give you clarity.
Dr. Michael Chua is a board-certified ophthalmologist practicing in Los Angeles, California. He attended medical school at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. After medical school, he completed his ophthalmology residency at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, where he was elected Chief Resident.
Dr. Chua enjoys teaching others about vision and eye health. He has a YouTube channel with over 15,000,00 views and 150,000 subscribers.
