Onset? Duration? Precipitating events? Inflammation? Crusts or scales? Pain?
Itch? Response to pressure? Distributed at the lid margin, generalized,
localized? Sharp edges or feathered?

Pictures would answer some of these questions but without those details
we're just taking potshots in the dark.

I'm wondering whether you read the doctor's response.  To wit:

"Onset? Duration? Precipitating events? Inflammation? Crusts or scales?
Pain?
Itch? Response to pressure? Distributed at the lid margin, generalized,
localized? Sharp edges or feathered?"

He was simply asking you if you could provide any other details that might
make a rough guess possible.  I would think you should be able to answer a
few of these questions . . . . .

Could be a bruise, could be a tumour, could be infection.  You will need to
have a doctor (either eye doctor or family doctor) take a look at the actual
redness to determine what it is.
