I have red eye & watery discharge. What should I do?

Question

Dear user, redness in eyes can be caused due to many reasons. If you have redness with itching it could be an allergy; an infection in your eyes is often manifested with redness, pain, watering of the eyes and decreased vision; if it's inflammation, then you might be experiencing redness and pain while dryness is manifested by redness and foreign body sensation. Mild redness can also occur due to dust exposure, stress, temperature variation. To reduce symptoms you can wash your eyes with clean water, do cold compress, blink a lot, or use lubricating eye drops like flogel. If symptoms persist, contact your ophthalmologist.
