Sir, im45 years old. My left eye is red n swollen n feeling light pain. What to do. Pls respond.

Question

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. The most common cause of eyelid swelling is allergies, either by direct contact with the allergen (such as animal dander entering your eye) or from a systemic allergic reaction (such as a food allergy or hay fever). If one eyelid is swollen, a common cause is a chalazion, an obstructed gland along the rim of an eyelid. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Hello! as per your complains following are the possibilities which an eye doctor would like to rule out first- insect bite conjunctivitis (bacterial or viral) stye keratitis glaucoma, to name a few. Without proper examination by an eye doctor, treatment cannot be decided based on just symptoms. The treatment for all these conditions is totally different. Also is there any redness? Since how many days you are having these problems? Any similar episodes in the past? Any treatment you have taken? These are some of the relevant questions one would like to know before prescribing drops. You can provide a good quality photograph of the affected eye if looking for online advise. Reach me out anytime for consultation and for discussing your case in detail to help in devising a proper treatment plan. Hope this helps. Thank you.
