Meanings

1. (of the eyes) Reddened and inflamed because of congested blood vessels.
   • Her back was toward the jungle, and so she did not see the grasses part, or the savage face that peered from between. Little, bloodshot, close-set eyes scanned her intently, roving from time to time about the open beach for indications of the presence of others than herself. 1913, Edgar Rice Burroughs, The Return of Tarzan, New York: Ballantine Books, published 1963, page 193:
   • She said she was perfectly fine but I could tell she was tired; her eyes were all bloodshot.
