Frequent redness that starts in one eye and then spreads to the other is usually due to conjunctivitis (often viral or allergic), rather than acidity. It can also be caused by allergic conjunctivitis, especially if there is itching or watering. Maintain eye hygiene, avoid touching or rubbing your eyes, wash hands frequently, and use clean towels. You can use lubricating eye drops for relief, but if redness keeps recurring, has discharge, or causes pain/vision issues, consult an eye doctor for proper treatment.

Primary Consideration:
- Red eyes alternating between each eye may suggest a recurrent allergic conjunctivitis.
Potential Causes:
- Allergic responses to environmental triggers (e.g., pollen, dust, pet dander) could be likely.
Recommendation:
- Consider using Olopat Eye Drops for symptomatic relief as it addresses allergic conjunctivitis effectively.
- Ensure proper hygiene when administering eye drops.
Further Advice:
- If symptoms persist or worsen, consult an ophthalmologist for a comprehensive evaluation.
- Monitor symptoms and avoid known allergens as much as possible.
