  Yes, pregnancy can cause bloodshot eyes. Blood vessel systematic diseases caused by pregnancy induced hypertension are liable to lead to the eye ground hemorrhage. In general, the eye ground hemorrhage needs to be analyzed according to the specific case. Light hemorrhage can be cured with medicines, but taking your pregnancy into consideration, the medicines are limited in quantity. I suggest you check your eye ground to see if you need to receive a laser treatment and a laser treatment does less harm to your baby than medication. Or bloodshot eyes during pregnancy have something to do with insufficient sleep or inflammation or conjunctivitis. Under such circumstances, you need to ensure your ample sleep and nutrition during pregnancy and drip some eye drops under the guidance of a doctor.

  Problems with your eyes could pop up during pregnancy, but don't worry. You can expect them to correct themselves after the baby comes.Hormonal changes cause the body to produce fewer tears, so eyes are often left feeling irritated and gritty, and bloodshot and sensitive to light. But watch out for drops designed to get rid of the red-eye effect: They constrict blood vessels and increase irritation. Look for nonvasoconstrictive ones instead. If you use drops more than four times a day, call an ophthalmologist.
