    "The red eyes are not just inside, her whole eyes get puffy and red on the outside. This should clear up too as well?"

    Does your daughter have any allergies?? I had a family member swim in my pool last summer (I use strictly bleach) and after a few hours of wearing latex goggles, her eyes swelled up and turned red. It turned out that she is allergic to latex when mixed with chlorine...apparently not too uncommon according to her doctor. Just a thought

    Just wanted to add:

    A quick way to see if she has a latex/chlorine sensitivity....ask her if she has a red mark around her waist where her underwear waistband sits. Usually there will be a reaction to the latex in the elastic and the skin (that's assuming you use bleach in your white laundry).
