Red-eye is caused by the reflection of light off the back of the eye. It is more common in flash photography, but can also occur in low-light conditions. The best way to avoid red-eye is to use a flash that is not attached to the camera. This will cause the light to bounce off the ceiling or a wall, rather than directly into the eyes. If you must use the flash on your camera, there are a few things you can do to reduce the chances of red-eye.
