Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic

I am Dr Dadapeer an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history.

Cialis is known to cause redness and swelling of the eye because of vasodilation caused by the drug.

Hence conjunctivitis is related to your intake of the drug Cialis.
Optrex eye drops is sufficient for this problem.

The condition will resolve over 3-4 days.

Hope this answers your question.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
