Redness, itching in eye
I am a 21-year-old male. For the last 2–3 days, my eye has been red with itching and mild irritation. Sometimes it feels scratchy, especially after rubbing the eye. There is no severe pain or vision problem.
Currently using:
Moxifloxacin eye drops
Carboxymethyl cellulose eye drops
But not feeling well.
