What is the best technique for removing the red in the white of the eyes when the white itself is a good color but it has red running through it. Thanks.

Layers!
Matt Kloskowski outlines a method for doing just that in his "Layers" book. Here is an abbreviated version of his method.
1: Add a "Hue/Saturation" adjustment layer.
2: Choose "Red" from the pop-up menu and reduce the saturation setting. (at this stage that effects the entire image, don’t worry about that) 3: Now in the adjustment layer pop-up, select "Master" increase the setting to about "20" to lighten the whole image. 4: Fill the adjustment layer mask with black by pressing "Command-I (PC: Ctrl-I) to invert the white to black.
5: Zoom in on the eye. Press "D" to set foreground to white, select the "Brush" tool and paint with white over the whites of the eyes. 6: Adjust the opacity of the layer to about 80% to make the change subtle and realistic.

I don’t think I’ve ever come across this problem, but going to save this for future reference.

Think of the individual suffering from allergies, a late night, or any other eye rubbing event which might make the whites of the eye less than a natural white.
It is also a way to fix stuff such as red-eye, or "luminous-eye" in animals, or even change the appearance of the irises.
It is a useful technique for doing all sorts of stuff when toying with an image, and not just limited to whites of eyes. Take a look at this "non-eye" example done using that exact method. < http://homepage.mac.com/lco/filechute/DNC_9927Hw.jpg >

Actually the easiest way is to make a new layer, zoom into the red-eye, select by color red, then hit the ‘desaturate’ option.

Try that.
You will find that you end up with a very unnatural luminosity issue and the problem is not entirely fixed, but compounded. So to correct your "desaturation" you will have to take a few more steps, the simplest is to use the "Brightness/Contrast" adjustment layer after your "desaturation" step and even that might not be enough.
It is workable, but the results are somewhat different, and sometimes looks as unnatural as painting the glowing pupil in black.
In reality no one technique is the perfect one. Different circumstances might call for a different technique to obtain the best result. Again another good reason for working in Layers so you can always go back to step one.

The problem here when I used this technique was that the redness was due to capillaries and I got rid of the redness but was left with a network of grey capillaries. This meant I now had to remove that network which I did with the stamp tool which I could have done the whole procedure with it to begin with but you need a good area to clone from which I did have. However thanks for your help and it created a good discussion.

Photography – the best technique is to prevent it in the first place by using pre-flash (most digital cameras epecially P&S has it as default, or user just select Red-Eye option). The other option for DSLR user by raising the flash (external flash) higher would reduce the red-eye (in most cases not all).
Retouching – the best technique is the technique you know best, and one of the simplest technique is selecting the area then apply Hue/Sat and one of many tools to change the color (to whatever color you wish).
4. And sometime you have to apply the same command multiple times (I usually don’t but I know it will make some difference). Example
a. Applying some Hue/Sat to some degree
b. Applying another Hue/Sat
c. Applying another Hue/Sat
The above is an example, why? because the A command applying some percentage to the *original*, the B command applying to the A (has changed), and the C command (3rd time) applying the the B (more change and different than the original and A).

Joel, the OT was asking how to remove, or fix red in the WHITE of the
eye, such as bloodshot eyes, or over visible red blood vessels, not "red-eye" in the pupil caused by flash.
Something like this 100% crop comparison:
For "red-eye" you are correct, in that it is better to take preventive measures by using the "red-eye"prevention settings with a pre-flash, or using indirect or offset flash.
Retouching – the best technique is the technique you know best, and one of the simplest technique is selecting the area then apply Hue/Sat and one of many tools to change the color (to whatever color you wish).
Exactly.

So that the subject’s irises are constricted. Do you know that to the average human observer, such makes the subject look less attractive? Do you care?
