What Could Be The Reason For Having A Scratch On The Cornea Of My Right Eye And Stinging Of Left Eye?
Hi, I have a scratch on the cornea of my right eye due to an eyelash which is being removed in the next few weeks, and have been putting drops in everyday so should they be ok? Also the corner of my left eye keeps stinging and my eye is quite red (bloodshot) in places, could it be the drops making it sting? or something else?
Thanks
Thanks

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having corneal scratch in right eye and stinging of left eye. These two are different problems.
The problem in right eye is because of injury by a misdirected eyelash and requires treatment by antibiotic eye drop.
The problem in left eye can be because of inflammation or allergy. It requires examination by eye doctor to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
