Bloodshot eye...do I need to do anything?

Can anyone tell me if I should be worried.
I got up this morning with irritated eyes, and rubbed them. Later when brushing teeth I looked and one eye is bloodshot in a corner. I am aware of it being irritated still but am not rubbing it more. I have not done anything I am aware of to hurt it, and was not drunk last night so I don't know what is wrong.

Thanks for any advice you may have.

Hi,
I had a scratched cornea just before xmas. All you could see was a small bloodshot area. I hadn't noticed anything before. The Opptitian noticed it at an eye test. She said maybe I'd bumped it or hurt it somehow. She suggested I wait for it to heal and said that this sort of thing heals within days.
Anyway after a week it was still there so she said maybe my eyelids were scratching it as I may have dry eyes.
I used Viscotears which is a sort of eye drop. You can get it at any chemist.
Still there a week later so now she thinks its an allergic reaction to something. Told me to use diff eye drops.

Have you used any new make up or washing powder that may be causing a reaction?. Or can you remember hurting or bumping your face/eye?

I don't wear makeup, and haven't used any different detergent.
I'm fairly sure I haven't knoked it.

I will call in at the optician tomorrow if it is no better I think, as it is slightly painful.

(Thanks for answering btw)
