Hello, I understand your concern
Redness and itching of the eyes after playing outdoors is most often due to allergic conjunctivitis or irritation from dust, sweat, or pollen. It’s usually mild, self-limiting, and not contagious. No vision loss or long-term damage is expected if treated
Next Steps
Cold compress over closed eyelids — helps reduce itching and redness
Wash face and eyes with clean water after outdoor play
Avoid rubbing eyes — worsens the irritation
Use artificial tears or lubricating eye drops (like Carboxymethylcellulose) 3–4 times a day
Consider antihistamine eye drops (e.g. olopatadine 0.1%) if symptoms are recurrent
Oral antihistamine (e.g., Cetirizine 5–10 mg at night) if generalized itching/allergy
Avoid steroid eye drops without ophthalmologist advice
Health Tips
Red flags:
Eye pain, swelling, or pus-like discharge develops
Vision blurring
Symptoms persist beyond 2–3 days despite drops

Use Refresh tears eye drops - can use it 4-5 times per day. It’s probably because of dryness and irritation. Mostly the symptoms will cool down after using it
If required you many add on Pataday Opthalmic solution after aa day or two ( to be used once or twice a day)
