1-year-old baby eye redness?

In 1-year-old babies, eye redness most often comes from three causes:
1. Conjunctivitis (eye inflammation) — You'll see redness in the eye fluid and inner eyelids, with crusting or tearing. If viral, the discharge is usually clear; if bacterial, yellowish-green crusting appears.
2. Blocked tear duct — Especially common in the first year. One eye stays slightly red and constantly tears; crusting collects when the baby wakes. No fever, baby seems comfortable.
3. Allergy / irritation — Can happen from dust, pollen, perfume, chlorinated water, or touching eyes with dirty hands. Usually accompanied by itching, clear discharge.
When is it urgent? If the eye is swollen, the baby is sensitive to light, seems uncomfortable, or has fever, see your pediatrician the same day.
At home: Clean gently with a soft cloth and warm water, wiping from inside to outside — never touch inside the eye. You'll need your pediatrician for a proper diagnosis.
