Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I thoroughly read your query and understand your concern. Based on the information provided, it looks like you had conjunctivitis and took treatment for the same. But you have not mentioned whether you took the medication over-the-counter or it was prescribed to you by an ophthalmologist after examining you on a slit lamp. So I would suggest you go for an ophthalmologist's opinion as sometimes conjunctivitis might involve the cornea, and that can be found only on a slit lamp.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Seeing the sun and very bright lighting can cause damage resulting in phototoxicity and can cause macular (the focusing part of the retina) damage.

For a headache (if it develops), use any regular pain medication.
