This really depends on the cause of your red eyes.  If they are red because of allergies, dry eyes or blepharitis, they will improve with treatment.  If that is simply your natural color, there is a cosmetic eye whitening procedure called I-Brite, but I do not perform it myself and am cannot comment on it's safety or efficacy.
