For Allergic Conjunctivitis And Goopy, Dry or Itchy Eyes Consult Eye Doctor

This could be the symptoms of many different conditions. It could be dehydration or overly dry eyes. It could be that you have a cyst in your eye or even allergic conjunctivitis. Although there are many home remedies that can be used to treat these symptoms, it is also advisable to seek the professional opinion of a doctor, especially if you aren’t sure of the cause.

Red Eye Treatment

You will need to wash your eyes every other hour using plain chilled tap water. Take a cotton ball, wet it with the water gently, and cleanse your eyes by squeezing the water in them and letting it run out the sides. Remember to discard the cotton ball after each use and use a fresh clean one each time. Using the same cotton ball can cause you to worsen the problem and also lead to further infection.

Use rose water to wash the eye regularly. Using rose water will help with relief from irritation, and relieve dryness. A concoction can be made by boiling coriander leaves too. Just boil a few leaves in about a cup of water until the water turns yellow in color.

Strain the liquid, store it in a clean container, and use it to wash the eyes out over four hours. Using this can help reduce the temperature in your eye.

To help with the goopy deposits you can use Euphrasia. This is a Homeopathic medicine. This is highly effective in helping to reduce the emissions and help with the healing. A saline solution can also be used to wash the eye out. This will provide comfort and help sanitize the eye.

Red Eye Remedies

Some helpful do’s and don’ts for red, irritated eyes:

  • Use fresh clean water to wash the eye out. Blink your eye ten to eleven times while washing it out. Both eyes will need to be washed at least five times each. Use fresh clean water each time you do this.
  • Avoid overstraining your eyes for the next couple of days. That means no more television or staring at the computer until the infection heals.
  • If your work is such that you cannot avoid staring at a computer screen, take a break every 10 minutes of so, and close your eyes and allow them to rest.
  • Resist the urge to itch your eyes. Itching your eyes with dirty fingers will lead to further infection.
  • Wear glasses or shades to protect your eyes when you go out.
