Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

See, it is looking like very mild infection in eyes (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Red lines are visible if you can see that is blood vessels which is mildly affected. My advice is you should do cold compression with ice or ice pack whichever is available at present and convenient to you. Atleast 3 times in a day if you will do your infection mainly congested vessels will become normal denial. If it is still persistent, then you should use eye drops. But in most of the cases it will be normal within few days after doing cool compression with ice. If you are having complaints after that also just consult me whichever way you are comfortable for communication and if needed we will start drops for you. Do not worry, be relaxed and use ice pack or ice and then you will be completely all right denial.
