My cat’s eyes are red around the edges and it sometimes squints, but no runny nose, sneezing, or lethargy
Red eye rims with squinting may come from internal heat, eye inflammation, strong light, or allergy. With no external injury seen, it is likely dietary heat or internal inflammation, so give more water, light food, and clean discharge. Strong light also irritates; dim the area and use anti-inflammatory or anti-fatigue drops. If discharge, sneezing, or severe allergy appears, see a vet.

A cat's eye problem can come from trauma, foreign objects, or bacteria and viruses.

My cat has tearing, more discharge, and one red eye corner
A little eye discharge is normal and needs daily cleaning, but much discharge with a red corner is not; greasy food or low water causes 'heat' and excess discharge. Switch to light food and water, clean daily, and treat keratitis or entropion if present.

Cat tearing, eyes look a bit red.
A little eye discharge is normal, usually diet-related - oily food causes heat and tear stains. If daily heavy discharge, wipe it and switch to a light, digestible diet with more water. Eye diseases like keratitis or conjunctivitis also cause it - treat the cause.
My cat’s eye was injured; it has swelling, bleeding, and color changes. What is happening?
Head impact can cause swelling, bruising, nasal bleeding, eye bleeding, or brain edema; untreated brain clots raise facial swelling and can cause unconsciousness. Get head and eye exams such as MRI, CT, or ophthalmology. If unavailable, do not blindly infuse; anti-inflammatory shots and eye drops are a reasonable stopgap, and nutrition is key.
