red eyes
Bloodshot, tired look
Red eyes describes eyes that appear bloodshot or irritated, with visible blood vessels giving the whites a pinkish or reddish tint.
Causes include fatigue, allergies, crying, swimming, smoke exposure, or intoxication: I could tell he'd been up all night from his red eyes.
In photography, red-eye is the eerie glow in flash photos caused by light reflecting off the retina.
A red-eye is also an overnight flight, named for how passengers look upon arrival: She took the red-eye from LA to New York.
