Hello doctor,
I have had itchy eyes when I wake in the morning and look inflamed. Also, on rubbing, my eyes become red. Sometimes, the itching would persist for the whole day. Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. From the symptoms, it could be dry eye with allergic conjunctivitis, for which I suggest you Eye drop Relub (Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulate) or any lubricating drop available at 0.5 percent four times a day for two weeks. Hot fomentation to both eyes twice daily for one week. Eye drop Olopatadine once daily once for two weeks. Thank you.
