How To Cure The Irritation And Redness In The Eye?
I had an irritation in one eye only and my eye was very red/bloodshot. I was prescribed some steroid eye drops and an eye ointment and it did clear up. I know have it again. It was diagnosed as an irritated. Do I need to see my eye dr again or will it go away?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having irritation and redness of eyes.
This indicates allergic conjunctivitis and requires treatment by the use of antihistamine and decongestant eye drops.
Steroid eye drops are required in severe cases and should not be used continuously as they can cause side effects like glaucoma, cataract...
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
