Red itchy eyes
Highly itchy red eyes since over a week. Can't figure out the root cause. Consulted a doctor, she gave me 3 eyedrops. I am confused as to use them one after the other together or at different time intervals

Your condition maybe due to allergy pr excessive screen time exposure..however any eyedrop u use should have a gap of 10mins between them..also use only 1 drop of each vial maintaining adequate hygiene..

Hi, If you could share the names of the eye drops it would help. But u can use them at 5 - 10 min intervals.

Ma'am if you instill Eyedrops in quick succession then the effect of first Eyedrops is washed out by the other. So always keep a gap of 15 minutes between each Eyedrops. Always wash your hands before instilling the drops. Do not touch the tip of the Eyedrops bottle with your hands and also don't touch it to the eye.
Next Steps
Continue the treatment advised by your Ophthalmologist. Start Cold compress to the eyes 3 times a day for 10 days (Can dip clean cotton in refrigerator cold water and keep over closed eyes for 30 seconds).
