I have many eye problems, such as myopia -2, recently diagnosed floaters, and just a month ago I had to go through a very bad bout of adenoviral conjunctivitis which lasted at least 20 days. My problem right now is a bit more scary right now though. I was noticing redness in my left eye (the one with most severe infection bout) after waking up for 3-4 days now which was clearing out on its own once I woke up and went about my day. I initially thought of it to be cold but today I was just tired and just was resting closing my eye and not sleeping. I noticed even though it was just a few minutes and I wasn't sleeping, once I open my eyes after keeping it closed for some time the eyes, especially the left one seems red in the white part. And very weirdly it clears out within seconds of me keeping the eyes open. But again when I close it for a few minutes same thing and then clearing out instantaneously. It freaked me out completely, I also take antiox tablets for floaters. HELP ME.

Hello
A. Please dont panic
B. Myopia is not a big issue. You have mild or small myopia ( -2DS). You can wear glasses. If you dont want glasses then contact lens will help you. Lasik is a quick procedure to get rid of glasses.
B. Floaters are benign and don't need treatment. Only way to get rid of them is to avoid them. I myself have floaters in my left eye for last 14 years. So get your retina examined. If retina is okay then forget about these floaters.
C. On and off redness is insignificant unless it is associated with other symptoms like blurred vision etc.
In your case, mild redness could be due to dryness. Try cold compresses and use lubricating eyedrop.
Having said that,kindly share photos of your eyes so that i may guide you better.
