Hello doctor,

My daughter, by chance, poked her finger in my eye and I got a redness on my left eye, in the white portion. I had little pain for ten minutes and now it is better. I put refresh tears in my eyes as they are otherwise always red due to dry eyes. Can I use the same or do you suggest any other?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You may use Acular LS eye (Ketorolac) drops thrice daily as there may be a mild uveitis.For your dry eyes, you may use Refresh tears (Carboxymethylcellulose) as you are using. Having said that, kindly share photos so that I may guide you better. Regards.

Thank you doctor,

Please find the photo attached.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thank you for sharing your photo (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There is a mild inflammation. You can use the medicines as suggested earlier. Having said that, it is a provisional diagnosis. Kindly consult your ophthalmologist, discuss with him or her and use the medicines with their consent.
