Suggest Treatment For Irritation, Blood Shot Eye And Blurriness

Hi i keep having repeating pink eye. Or what i think is pink eye. Ive had it at least 7 times in the last 3 months and i am very careful to wash my hands amd not rub my eyes. It seems to come up rapidly with in a few hours before i notice the first irratation. And i usually wake up with very blood shot eyes. It causes blurriness in my eyes. I get drops for them and it will go away but then come back in a few weeks or so.

Hello,

You are getting recurrence of pink eye, blurriness and irritation of the eyes. It is commonly caused by either a bacterial or viral infection, ultraviolet burn, allergy or chemical irritation. Stay away from all kinds of pollutants. Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes, do not share your flannels, washcloths or towels with other people. Regularly wash your hands and use paper towels to dry them, avoid eye makeup.

Apply antibiotic eye drop (Ciplox eye drop) in both eyes for 5-7 days. However, you are suggested to get clinically examined by an Eye specialist, get diagnosed if it is conjunctivitis or some other staph. infection or eye problem that is causing recurrence. Sometimes, subconjunctival hemorrhage also presents with such symptoms. You will be treated accordingly by the Eye Specialist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
