Hello doctor, I am experiencing itchiness and redness in my eyes since a few days. I have been administering eye drops twice or thrice a day since two to three days but the problem persists. The redness is more after waking up and it subsides a bit after using eye drops (Itone eye drops). A major part of my day involves using a laptop. The itchiness and redness are slight, not very extreme. Kindly suggest.
Hello. From your description, I feel that you could have allergic conjunctivitis with some degree of dry eyes. The major symptom of allergic conjunctivitis being itching and of dry eyes being burning sensation. Both conditions cause redness and irritation and are aggravated by each other. My advice to you is: I recommended that you see an ophthalmologist in case of the following - 1. The redness, watering, and irritation are worsening in spite of the above measures. 2. There is a drop in the visual ability/clarity of vision goes down - check each eye by closing the other. 3. Your eyes stick together when you open your eyes for the first time in the morning after sleep. Hope you get well soon. Kindly revert back to me in case you have any further questions. Review after two weeks. Revert after two weeks to an eye care ophthalmologist online -->
