Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My left eyes touched the wall and became red and when trying to close the eyes, I feel a little pain in the left corner of the eye. Please advise me what kind of medicine I can take now.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. I advise you again wash your eyes in running water for around 15 to 20 minutes. Over-the-counter medication which can be used is 0.5 % Carboxymethylcellulose acetate (refresh tears eyedrops). I advise you to visit an ophthalmologist if you develop drop in vision, Pain and watering and if you are not responding or becoming worse.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
