  Since you are sure they are not bifocals and not a crack, it may be something wrong with your glasses. You should take your glasses back to have them checked.

• How can I treat the chronic red eyes?

  If you get red eyes, you are not allowed to rub your eyes. Then you should cool your red eyes. A cool compress can relieve your redness from a cold virus or allergen. However, the best way is to see your doctor and let him check your eyes to find out the exact reason which caused your redness. Then the doctor can deal with your redness with special treatments.
