Why My Eyes Are Watery And Red?
Yesterday i was pricked in the eye by a plant. It was okay after that, but this morning it is watery and red. it is also a little irritable but not bad by any means. i dont feel there is any serious damage and would like to know if anyone knows about this kind of injury.

Hello
It seems from the history that you had a injury to the eye by a plant following which you are having redness and watering of eyes.
Thus indicates injury to the eye by plant directly or by the plant juice resulting in chemical injury.
Both types of injuries are known to cause corneal abrasion. The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops and artificial tears eye drops.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
