red eye

Irritated, inflamed appearance

Red eye refers to several things connected by redness or overnight timing.

A red-eye flight departs late at night and arrives early morning, leaving passengers with bloodshot eyes from lack of sleep: I caught the red eye from LA to New York.

Red eye also describes the photographic effect where flash makes pupils appear red, or the actual condition of bloodshot eyes from fatigue, irritation, or intoxication.

In some regions, red eye is cheap whiskey or coffee added to beer.
