1) No, I don't have any eye pain.
Just I am getting burning sensation, because of these I am getting difficult to see when the sun is over me. And in cool places or when the sun is low my vision is good.
2) No, I did not see any halos around lights.
3)No, nausea and vomiting sensation is not present and discharge of that liquid from eyes like tears are coming when I am under the sun.
And also I am feeling that something like one small particle got stuck in my eyes.
My problem is I will do everyday journey in bus to reach my institution
Thank you,

my friends are saying that your eyes become red colour.
They are thinking that I got eye sight.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply

As per your reply and clinical history is concerned you have no major eye disorders present except allergies so you can use any anti allergic eye drops containing [phenylephrine hydrochloride, naphazoline hydrochloride, menthol & camphor]for prescription talk with your treating doctor.

Secondly do a clinical examination of your eye by an ophthalmologist to ruled out any physical sign as well as any particle present or not.

You can use few things at home like-

1)Do not touch your eyes with your hands

2)Wash your hands often

3)Use clean towel and washcloth daily and do not share it

4)Change your pillow cases every day

Hope that helps
