Eye itching and stinging sensation

2025-01-14 17:54:21
I'm having eye itching and at times stinging sensation in my left eyes. I went to test my eyes. Doctor said there is mild swelling in optic nerve. She has given lubimoist eye drops 6 times( q drop in each eye) for 1 month What are hone remedies for eye itching. Sometimes due to itching I feel rubbing my eyes and it becomes red. Does drops reduce swelling of optic nerve? Also she recommended me for nerve test. Can u pls tell what is test for? And how it's done

Itching in eyes and optic nerve swelling are two separate entities. Lubricant eye drops are for symptomatic relief only. You need to undertake tests recommended to arrive at a diagnosis. Please discuss with your doctor in detail.
