Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic

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

I reviewed your history.
The symptoms of redness and pain on the eyelid following hit by hand indicate probable congestion of the eye. If the vision in that eye is fine with no complaints of blurring of vision, then no need to be worried as this will resolve on its own.

As a prophylactic measure you can use antibiotic eye drops like Moxifloxacin eye drops 3-4 times a day till the redness and the pain resolves.

If possible do send me a photo of the affected eye so that I can confirm the diagnosis and advice you accordingly.

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


Thank you
