Red Eye

Named entertainment property

Red eye names several things united by the appearance of redness in or around eyes.

A red-eye is a late-night or overnight flight, so called because passengers arrive bleary-eyed: I caught the red-eye from LA to New York.

In photography, red-eye is the effect when flash reflects off the retina, making eyes glow red.

Red eye is also cheap whiskey, black coffee, or a mix of beer and tomato juice.

The adjective red-eyed describes bloodshot eyes from fatigue, crying, or intoxication.
