My left eye was badly injured years ago. It was healed and vision was not affected, however i think as a result it suffered vitreous detachment.
My eye has been examined many times and i was told always it’s in good health. However i often have burning sensation in eye, it also gets red easily and the whiteness isn’t as clear as the other.
What could i do about the irritation and redness? Can some specific eye drops really help?
ANSWER
Omar,
From your symptoms it seems that you may be suffering from dry eyes. Of course it is good to have them examined by an Optometrist to ensure that this is the cause of your symptoms. If you are diagnosed with dry eyes the treatment is artificial tears. These generally need to be used at least three to four times per day. Your optometrist can recommend a good brand for you to use. Usually dry eyes occur in both eyes, but because of your history of having an eye injury only one eye may be affected.
