Eye irritation

2017-11-22 09:05:59
I've had the same problem twice in 5 months. For about one week, my will be red to start with and then feel very strained and itchy. It feels like there is something in it and when I blink it feels like it is scratching it. This time is not as bad as the first time as I have been putting golden eye ointment in it since it started. Just wondering if you think it could be anything serious to worry about it just a simple infection. Many thanks.
