Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having pterygium.
Pterygium cannot be cured by use of eye drops. It needs to be treated by surgical excision if it is crossing the cornea, causing recurrent redness...
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
