Brief Answer:
It could be an early sign of conjunctivitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
It could be an early sign of conjunctivitis ( infection of eye). Other local irritation can also cause similar symptoms.
In your case there is no additional redness or water discharge from the eye and thus it could be a minor attack.
In most of the cases it will settle by itself without any treatment. As of now wash the dishes yes multiple times with clean water. Avoid rubbing and keep good hand hygiene.
If you feel dryness or discomfort, you can apply HPMC( hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose) drops fro symptomatic relief.
In severe cases antibiotic drops may be required.
Wishing all the best.
Thanks
