Suggest Treatment For Itchy And Burning Eye

I checked online for my symptom and came up with corneal abrasion. It started from wearing these contacts. My eyes feel a scratch when I rub my eyes. My eyes feel irritated and itchy. I tried eye drops for itchy eyes and it burns and making it worse.

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having itching and irritation of the eyes following use of contact lenses.
These symptoms indicate probable allergic conjunctivitis induced by use of contact lenses.
I prefer to treat these conditions by the use of anti-allergic eye drops containing olopatadine and anti- allergic drugs. The use of contact lenses needs to be limited or stopped till the symptoms improve.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
