text: I surf a few times each week and my eyes are always a little blood shot. The salt and Sun are pretty hard on the peepers. If they are extremely red you could have picked up an infection from the water.\n\nSewage spills are a common culprit for eye, ear, and sinus infections amongst us water-men (and women). Pretty disgusting hey? Have you had a large amount of rainfall in the area over the past few days before your ocean swim? That's usually the cause of local sewage pollution.\n\nIf it happens to be the case, it usually clears up in a few days. But I'm not doctor. If it doesn't clear up you should check with one.\n\nHope this helps :)
