Eye redness due to Hot water drop
My one eye is red on one side.
One very small hot water drop entered my eye while I was taking steam from vaporiser.I washed my eyes with cold water.
It is 7 days now and using Ciprofloxacin (Ciplox eye drop of Cipla) drop but redness has not gone.
There is no pain or other issue.
I am also working on laptop 8 to 10 hours a day.
Attaching pic of my left eye.
Please suggest whether it will heel with time as due to lockdown there is limited access to Doctor and medicine.
Thanks
